the following works fine for me:
var artData:XML = <art>
<bios>
<artistBio f="Victor" s="Pasmore">blah blah</artistBio>
<artistBio f="Stephen" s="Pentak">more blah blah</artistBio>
</bios>
</art>;
var lastName:String = "Pentak";
var firstName:String = "Stephen";
var allBios:XMLList = artData.bios..artistBio;
var thisone:XMLList = allBios.((@s==lastName)&&(@f==firstName));
trace(thisone.toXMLString());

Subject: [Flashcoders] E4X, it's STILL just not my day.
Hi list...
Why can't I get to the node I want to here:
<art>
<bios>
<artistBio f="Victor" s="Pasmore">blah blah</artistBio>
<artistBio f="Stephen" s="Pentak">more blah blah</artistBio>
</bios>
</art>
var artData:XML represents the above correctly.
var lastName:String = "Pentak";
var firstName:String = "Stephen";
// successfully lists out all the <artistBio> tags
var allBios:XMLList = artData.bios..artistBio;
// thisone is null...why?? Aren't I filtering it correctly?
var thisone:XMLList = artData.bios..artistBio.((@s==lastName)&&(@f==firstName));
Thanks, perplexed, E4x shouldn't be this weird...
