[flexcoders] XML - What var type can I use for my XML nodes?

[sailorsea21]

Hi everyone, I have the following:

<mx:XML id="testID" format="e4x" source="xml/test.xml"/>
<mx:Text text="{testID.result.(@now=='today').date}"/>

What var type can I use for "testID.result.(@now=='today')" to simply 
my text string?

I would like to have the following:

[Bindable]
public var xmlvar:String = testID.result.(@now=='today');

<mx:Text text="{xmlvar.date}"/>

Thanks.

David
