A simple technique to convert the string false to a Boolean false is to use the toLowerCase( ) method and compare the value with the string true:

  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){
        var example:XML = <example>
                            <bool>true</bool>
                            <integer>12</integer>
                            <number>.9</number>
                          </example>;
        var bool:Boolean = example.bool.toLowerCase(  ) == "true";

    }
  }
