One way of getting around this is to remove the namespace from the XML a using regular expression.

Example: var replacements : Object = { SPEED : "slow", ADJECTIVE : "green", VERB: "slithers" }; var template: String = "The %{SPEED} %{ADJECTIVE} fox %{VERB} over the %{ADJECTIVE} dog."; trace( makeReplacements( template, replacements ) ); //output: The slow green fox slithers over the green dog.

But in AS3 they get ignored and left as they are. In some situations I have found that this can cause problems. So you can do it manually using this regular expression.
