A very easy way to get rid of them, is: Replace the :: by _ ! <media::thumbnail .. becomes <media_thumbnail ... No namespace, but no conflict in your XML! That is the solution! You should not remove the namespace!

A very easy way to get rid of them, is:

Replace the :: by _ !

<media::thumbnail .. becomes <media_thumbnail …

No namespace, but no conflict in your XML!

That is the solution!

Why don't you just use the namespace that is sent back? If you are calling the web service you'll know what namespace is being returned. namespace nsToUse = "http://api.website.com/api/"; use namespace nsToUse; var xlc:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(xml.YourNodeHere); Much better for performance.

I changed regex to new RegExp("xmlns=[^\"]*\"[^\"]*\"", "gi"); to just remove the default namespace and it worked great. I can still access the bound children using the :: syntax. Anyways, thanks for the example. It blows up if there is more than one namespace however, because the children elements that use typed namespaces are then not bound. I changed regex to
