Querying changed .xml in ActionScript 3

Greetings from Boise!

Is anyone aware of a clever way to query (in AS3) an .xml file so that when the .xml file changes (as the result of an Access query in this case) the AS3 application (Google Maps API) refreshes using the new .xml data?

Thanks!

Do you load XML from server? Also, what is the definition of "change" in your case?

Greetings from Boise!

There will be a Well-Formed .xml document on a server that contains data on a particular Commercial Real Estate property (such as address, square footage, et. al.). When someone runs an Access query, Access will pump out a new .xml document for a property that overwrites the existing file.

When that orignal file is overwritten I would like to have Flash notice that it has been overwritten and draw in the data so that it can display the new property on a Google Maps application.

My expertise is limited to Flash, so if this is something that requires .php or another technology I'll have to hand it off. I was just hoping that someone had run across a method for such an operation.

Thanks much!
