Thanks for these. I will add these test cases. (They should both be fine.) I have not tried using XMLListCollection, but being that it’s a purely ActionScript class, I think it should “just work”.
I just committed support for E4X filtering. In theory it’s working, but there’s an issue with the compiler which causes an error without post-processing of the javascript. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-35071 It looks like the support coverage is already way better than I was hoping for! :-) I spent most of the day going through some really complex XML which has turned up quite a few issues, but they are all pretty easy to resolve so far.
