Flex XML

Here is what I have

xml  

      Date   

    2010-10-15 

 /Date  

Number

       1000 

 /Number

 xml

The question is how can I get the vale of Date and Number?

if myXML is used to refer to the above XML

var strDate:String = myXML.Date[0].toString();

var strNumber:String = myXML.Number[0].toString();
