Actually, another option, you already have that information with E4X
syntax, so this could nerdily be handled in a single line. So for
example, if you wanted to see how many nodes had an firstName attribute
with the value of "Hank" ( <mynode firstName="Hank" />) then you can do
this:
xml..*.(attribute("firstName")=="Hank").length();

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Counting xml attributes
Hi Theodore,
Something like (code not tested):
var counter:uint = 0;
for each (node in myXml..*) {
if(no...@myatt == givenValue) {
counter++;
}
}
trace(counter);
