I'm having an issue with finding the length of the number of children items in 
my ArrayCollection.  A small part of the xml that is being pulled in is below.  
You'll see that I have a node <links> with a child or children node <link>.  If 
I have 2 or more <link> nodes then the length comes back with the proper 
number, but if I only have 1 it comes back as undefined.  Here's my basic 
function that I'm putting together now…

private function dgChanged(evt:Event):void {
        if (myADG.selectedItem.links != null) {
                trace(myADG.selectedItem.links.link.length);
        } else {
                trace ("NULL" );
}


<items>
        <item>
                <eID>4</eID>
                <eName><![CDATA[3 Event with link]]></eName>
                <sDate>1/2/2010</sDate>
                <eDate>2/18/2010</eDate>
                <sTime>12:00:00 PM</sTime>
                <eTime>3:00:00 PM</eTime>

title="Apple" url="www.apple.com"/>
                </links>
        </item>


Any ideas as to why I'm getting "undefined"?

Thanks,
Mark
