Tracey - thanks for the help. got it with this
private function getRBValueByAttribute(attributeName:String):String {
var soapNS:Namespace =
dataXML.namespace("SOAP-ENV");
var typNS:Namespace = dataXML.namespace("typ");
var body:XMLList = dataXML.soapNS::Body;
return body..typNS::entity.typNS::attribute.(@id ==
attributeName).children()[0];
}
cheers flexcoder you did it again :-)
