This is not a direct answer to your immediate question , but rather a
general tip:
If you need complex calculations within an e4x expression, you can call
out to a function of your own. The () just requires a boolean value, so
you can do something like below, where I wanted to a bit of string
manipulation within the expression:
xlFilteredItems =
_xmlData..item.(itemContains(attribute("item"),sFilterString))
and the function:
private function itemContains(sItem:String, sMatch:String):Boolean
{
sItem = sItem.toLowerCase();
sMatch = sMatch.toLowerCase();
return (sItem.indexOf(sMatch) != -1);
}//contains

Subject: Re: [flexcoders] e4x problem - filtering elements based on
multiple child conditions
It seems to work it out for you when it can.
name.text()[0].toLowerCase() works
name.text().toLowerCase() also works if there is exactly one name child
of
each group element.
