I need to learn XML this week and will be purchasing the book on it today "XML in Flash by Craig Swann, Gregg Caines". I was wondering though what the differences are with Flash MX and and Flash 5 in reguards to XML.

I want to use XML to import data into some of my CD projects but not from the web. I won't be using Flash MX to write to the XML database just retrieve information. Am I on the right track? Would this be the best way?
