Is there an Actionscript library that can be used to target Flex components in the display list using an xpath-like syntax?

I feel like I've seen something like this before, but not sure where and searches aren't turning up anything useful. A library like this would evaluate xpath-like string开发者_运维问答 expressions that would resolve to references to actual components (if they exist) in a Flex application's display list tree.

these might help:

How can I use XPath with AS3 and get a result that still reffereced to the XMLDocument object?
