Thank you, that helped a lot. For anyone else trying to filter by date, here's the line of code:
var today:Date = new Date(); var showXML:XMLList = result_xml.item.(new Date(date.toString()) >= today); Thanks, Doug Coning Senior Flash / ASP.Net Developer Webize Interactive Media 345 Massachusetts Avenue Indianapolis, Indiana dcon...@webize.com -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of David Hershberger Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 5:02 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - XML Filter by Date You can filter XML with arbitrary boolean functions, so the answer is definitely yes. See http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/13_Working_with_XML_08.html#131880 One of the examples there shows XML stored in var x with a list of <employee id="23"/> type elements, and you can use this syntax to get an XMLList of employees with id attributes over 300: x.employee.(@id > 300) Similarly, if you had a birthdate field stored as milliseconds since 1970 you could filter on that like so: x.employee.(new Date(@birthdate).getFullYear() == 2000) to return a list of employees who were born in the year 2000.
