Of course not, because you use the array syntax again (childNodes[0], which is in fact the same method as in your previous settings[tagName]) and when using such, the compiler has no type information (since there are no typed arrays in AS). If you try it by the following way, you'll surely get a compile error: settings.settings_id = settingsBranch.firstChild..firstChild.nodeValue; Attila _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
