Got it thanks. I was wrongly under the assumption that I could simply create an XMLNode with the same value of one contained in the XMLList.

The XMLListCollection is also filtered. With that said, I am unable to have it return a 'true' value even if I hardcode the 'contains' value so that I (should be) forcing a 'true' value. Per the Help Docs, I have even tried removing the filterFunction so that I should get a 'true' result. Here's my code to assist: > // XMLListCollection (projectData_xlc) > <project date="8/30/08">Quarter 3</project> > <project date="8/30/08">Quarter 2</project> > <project date="8/30/08">Quarter 4</project> > > projectData_xlc.filterFunction = null; > > var findValue:XML = new XML("Quarter 3") // force value to be true > > trace(projectData_xlc.contains(findValue)) // RETURNS FALSE > > ! > Any suggestions on where the issue might be?
