Put that logic in a function that returns a Boolean, so you can debug it. Then use the function in the e4x expression.

This works var xL0:XMLList=inputXML..node.(/^Gear[0-9]{2}W$/.(test(@name))); This is apparently should work with a compiler warning public static const GEARDEF1:RegExp=new RegExp("/^Gear[0-9]{2}$/","i"); var xL2:XMLList=inputXML..node.(GEARDEF1.test(@name)); and using square bracketing like this should work and stop the warnings. public static const GEARDEF1:RegExp=new RegExp("/^Gear[0-9]{2}$/","i"); var xL2:XMLList=inputXML..node.(GEARDEF1["test"](@name)); Trouble is neither of the two methods using RegExp work - which if it were that simple wouldn't matter. The reason for this is that I need to build arrays of RegExs to loop over like this. public static const GEARDEF1:RegExp=new RegExp("/^Gear[0-9]{2}$/","i"); public static const GEARDEF2:RegExp=new RegExp("/^Gear[0-9]{2}W$/"); public static const GEARDEF3:RegExp=new RegExp("/^Gear[0-9]{2}01Loc$/"); public static var geardefs:Array =[GEARDEF1, GEARDEF2, GEARDEF3]; Any suggestions as to why this doesn't work?
