The board you posted to is "just PHP," but there are several other boards you could have posted to. This would have been better served in client-side or miscellaneous.

ActionScript has a lot of similarity to JavaScript, and one of those similarities is it's ability to interact with an XML document. ActionScript, ever since 1.0, has an XML class where you can load an XML file and all of it's data becomes instances of the XMLNode class. You can alter any part of the document, keep and store any particular nodes that you want, ignore or destroy nodes you don't want, and save and load the XML file as long as you have permissions to do so.

An as for adding to another part of the time line... When I program in ActionScript, I ignore the time line altogether. Good programming practice requires you to define everything in the first frame, and then movie clips separately.

Have you checked Google?

Your topic is badly titled and in the wrong forum.

Wrox Press forum might be of interest.
