Did you try "text()"? All e4x expressions return an XMLList, but often the default toString() will return the text you want. However, not always, and I have gotten in the habit of always using text() when I want the text node.
In this case, children(), works because you only have a text node child. I would advise text() because it is more readable then children(). While we are here, text() returns an XMLList too. If you want to set the text node you would need to use ...text()[0] = "my text"; Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Pariente Sent: Friday, August 29, 2008 10:15 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: cannot get ONLY the value of an XML element... got it! when i said about it looks like getting the parent...i noticed and just put a .children() at the end, now it works! :) ----- Mensaje original ---- De: Josh McDonald <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Para: [email protected] Enviado: viernes, 29 de agosto, 2008 5:33:19 Asunto: Re: [flexcoders] Re: cannot get ONLY the value of an XML element... Hmmm, you could be right... rIngredients. currentItem. ingredient might be returning an XMLList instead of an XML, which is why you're getting that. Try replacing text="{rIngredients. currentItem. ingredient. quantity}" with: text="{rIngredients. currentItem. ingredient. quantity[ 0]}" Instead? If it works, then that's the problem. You might get a compiler warning though.
