Hi,
I guess you might have solved this for now - for future reference, I
have found the following 2 sources invaluable links when doing e4x stuff...
http://www.linkwerk.com/pub/javascript/e4x/e4x-tester/
(It's JavaScript / HTML, but it is a better / fuller implementation
than the BetaBong one
http://blog.betabong.com/showcase/e4x/E4X_Parse_Test.html)
http://dispatchevent.org/roger/as3-e4x-rundown/ - invaluable article.
As an aside / example of XML & e4x - I found the real power of this
system recently. I had been using an XML config file as a data model to
configure my interface - my Application loads XML, creates "Screens"
with each <screen> tag in <config> and each Screen created "Buttons"
with each <button> tag. When asked to create a CMS, I created an
"Editor" class to modify the <button> XML in the Buttons - because this
XML had been passed by reference by looping through the main config
file, changing the <button> xml is actually reflected in the <config> -
i.e. I could resave the XML file by dumping the <config> XMl which has
all the edits. For me, that's the big clincher which makes all this XML
& e4x totally worthwhile - of course you can do it with other data
types, but XML is editable by anyone with half a brain so it's a happy
medium and once you get past some of the quirks, it's not bad to work
with and saves coding up model classes for simple projects, etc.
HTH a little

I am trying:
buildXML = peopleXML.person.(@group == dd_group.value.toString())&&
peopleXML.person.(@room == dd_room.value.toString());
I am surprised that it even returns an XMLList, wait, does it?
