CFHTTP Response - Set XML values in variables

I'm making a CFHTTP request which is returning the following XML in the fileContent:

<login>
    <success>1</success>
    <player>
        <id>123456</id>
        <nucleusId>28736389714</nucleusId>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
        <preferredPersona>
            <id>19842082</id>
            <gamertag>MyGamerTag1</gamertag>
            <platform>360</platform>
        </preferredPersona>
    </player>
</login>

What I'm looking to do is declare ColdFusion variables for:

I've had a read around all morning but am still none the wiser on how I'd achieve this?

Over and above Duncan's answer, it seems you could probably step back, and get yourself up to speed understanding/using XML in ColdFusion before you look at any implementation stuff.

It's always best to read and understand the docs before trying to use some part of CFML's functionality.

So all you need to do is convert some XML to a coldfusion structure?

I'd probably just do it like

<cfsavecontent variable="myXML">
<login>
    <success>1</success>
    <player>
        <id>123456</id>
        <nucleusId>28736389714</nucleusId>
        <email>[email protected]</email>
        <preferredPersona>
            <id>19842082</id>
            <gamertag>MyGamerTag1</gamertag>
            <platform>360</platform>
        </preferredPersona>
    </player>
</login> 
</cfsavecontent>

<cfset myXML = XMLParse(myXML)>
<cfset stuPlayer = {}>
<cfset stuPlayer.ID = myXML.login.player.ID.XmlText>
<cfset stuPlayer.nucleusID = myXML.login.player.nucleusID.XmlText>
... etc
<cfdump var="#stuPlayer#">
