Lisa,
MAGpie's "save" file format is XML. You could use that.

You can export the SAMI file and then have a xsl file to transform the
SAMI data into XML that you like for your actionscript.

You may also consider HiCaption, which is capable of generating SAMI as
well as an xml output.

Hope this helps,
AWK
