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="Agrafiotis";
// undefined
var a = artData.bios.artistBio.(@s==lastName);
// correctly finds the Peter Agrafiotis node
var b = artData.bios.*.(@s==lastName);
trace(a);
trace(b);
this works for me.
