[a_modified_dog]

unless its a typo your xml is poorly formed at this line
</news>-->

in Flash, with the barest minimum of code, i can show
each of the attributes within the nodes with -

// xml parsing.
xmlParse = function (xmlObj) {
aNode = xmlObj.firstChild.firstChild.childNodes;
for (var i = 0; i<aNode.length; i++) {
trace(aNode[i].attributes.mytext);
trace(aNode[i].attributes.links);
}
};
