Accessing XML Node problem

[Lance S]

I have an xml doc that looks like this 

<xmp>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<qry columns="10" rows="3">
    <rec>
      <address>400 Convention Blvd</address>
      <city>Hot Springs</city>
      <country>USA</country>
      <eventid>9366</eventid>
      <eventname>Embassy Suites Hotel &amp; Spa-Hot Springs</eventname>
      <prelimroomname>Salon a &amp; B</prelimroomname>
      <startdatetime>2009-05-04 17:00:00.0</startdatetime>
      <state>AR</state>
      <zip>71901    </zip>
      <zipcode>71901</zipcode>
    </rec>
  </qry>
</xmp>

in a variable called result.  

If I run 
    result.qry: #XMLGetNodeType(result.qry])#
it throws an error the says : Element QRY is undefined in RESULT

if I run 
    result.qry: #XMLGetNodeType(result['qry'])#
it returns the expected result of result.qry: ELEMENT_NODE


Can anyone shead anylight as to why the dot notation doesn't work??  I am using 
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_t-z_21.html#139655
 as an example to work from and the example is nearly idential and works fine 
with the dot notation so I a very confused.

Thanks in Advance,
Lance
