I am familiar with e4x and know generally how to get information I need 
when I know the structure of an XML file. I was going to put together a 
utility as tutorial for new-hires to allow trying e4x to get different 
values.

I quickly ran into the problem that I cannot see a way to allow this to 
happen without creating my own e4x interpreter. Am I missing something? 
If I wanted a user to enter a string like "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" and 
want to get the xmllist matching that e4x string on an XML object can I 
do that? I know that [EMAIL PROTECTED] will give me what I 
want, I even know that xmlVar["somenode"]["@someAttribute"] will give 
me what I want. But xmlVar["[EMAIL PROTECTED]"] doesn't work. Nor 
does xmlVar.decendants("[EMAIL PROTECTED]");

I know Adobe has the D.eval stuff for providing eval in AS, but I was 
hopeing for a solution that doesn't require external libraries.

Thanks for any input,

ArtC
