Ok so I've got this class so far. I'm not sure whether it's a good idea to generate the XMLList inside the class (and if it is, how do I choose which node of the xml file? shall I use the XMLNode Class?) or do I just feel glad with what I have so far and then generate the list as follows:

var manager:XMLManager = new XMLManager("xmlfile.xml");
var list:XMLList = new XMLList(manager.data.someNode);
