Once imported is XML data alaways aviable throughout movie?

I was wondering. I have imported the xml and manipulated it. Now I want to acesss the data again. Must I reload or is the adat still avilable?

There's nothing special about the way XML-objects are handled by the garbage collector. Data will be removed from memory when no more references to it exist.

That means all variables persist, until they are:

- set to "undefined"
- overwritten with some other value
- removed with "delete"
- their timeline is terminated with removeMovieClip or unLoadMovie
- the Flash player exits
