Sorry folks, that was a typo in the post. In my Flash file, it is indeed correctly formed XML.
var e = artData.bios.artistBio.(@s==lastName); var d = artData.bios.*.(@s==lastName); There is something definitely weird going on in my code, because this is a simple E4X statement. Seriously, shouldn't e and d both return the one node that fits that criteria? In my class, e returns undefined, and d correctly returns it. - MM -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jer Brand Sent: Friday, February 05, 2010 12:16 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] E4X, it's just not my day. Fixing that, your code works (I just added explicit var types). var artData:XML = new XML(<art> <bios> <artistBio f="Peter" s="Agrafiotis">an artist</artistBio> <artistBio f="Larry" s="Denning">He sucks</artistBio> <artistBio f="Susan" s="Agrafiotis">She rocks</artistBio> </bios> </art>); var lastName:String="Agrafiotis"; var a:XMLList = artData.bios.artistBio.(@s==lastName); trace(a.toXMLString()) var b:XMLList = artData.bios.*.(@s==lastName); trace(b.toXMLString()) ; OUTPUTS: <artistBio f="Peter" s="Agrafiotis">an artist</artistBio> <artistBio f="Susan" s="Agrafiotis">She rocks</artistBio> <artistBio f="Peter" s="Agrafiotis">an artist</artistBio> <artistBio f="Susan" s="Agrafiotis">She rocks</artistBio> Jer _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
