Yes they are definitely available. I recall having a problem with using nodeValue. I think I used childNodes[0] instead. Per the docs, nodeValue only works on text nodes, any you are probably applying it to an element node. You might test with childNodes[0], to make sure you have the correct node. Or test with nodeName, which I recall works fine.
Search the livedocs for "XML class" for a full listing of the methods/properties. http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flex/15/flex_docs_en/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/ht ml/wwhelp.htm Tracy -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of flex_dba Sent: Tuesday, September 13, 2005 6:47 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Flex Actionscript firstChild & nextSibling I'm trying to send back the response from a webservice and populate a tree control with the results. I don't want to have to hardcode the element names to be able to retrieve the values. I saw firstChild & nextSibling in a Flash2004 tutorial and was wondering if these are also available in Flex. Probably just using them wrong but when I display the value I'm getting undefined. This is the snippet I'm working with: function addNodesToTree(response) { if (response.nbta.pb!=null) { displayQuestion.text = response.firstChild.nodeValue; } else if(response.nbta.cs!=null) { displayQuestion.text = response.nextSibling.nodeValue; } else if(response.nbta.es!=null) { displayQuestion.text = "ES"; } The last one works, which I just just using to test if I got the correct response.
