I have a variable named report set to an xml document. var report : XML = <dls-configuration><system></system>.........</dls-configuration> var n1 : XML = report.system as XML; var n2 : XML = report.children()[0];
n1 = null n2 = the system node I have accessed nodes many times like I do for n1 and not a problem with it evaluating to null. I can't figure out what I am doing differently with the above. Any help showing me the obvious is appreciated. -Steve
