Flash versions have different capabilities.
Early versions (MX  MX2004) could read files, send and receive packets from
servers, and listen for packets from servers (variable strings or XML
format) using GET or POST methods.

You should be able to save the XML file using any app, including Rev, as
long as the permissions are correct.  The Flash movie should be able to read
that file.
