RE: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?

Title: is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?

It may not be a Flash decision either since the API of the XML class is specified by the E4X standard. It would depend on whether that standard allows an implementor to add additional APIs or not.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Peter Farland Sent: Thursday, May 25, 2006 6:31 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?   For native Flash Player APIs, I'd log a bug against the player... this isn't really a Flex decision.   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 9:29 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x? I am not really fussing very hard, it is just that we have:   XML.appendChild() XML.insertChildAfter() XML.insertChildBefore() XML.prependChild()   but no XML.removeChild?   delete is a completely different style syntax.   Tracy   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gordon Smith Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 9:02 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?   I don't know whether it is the best or only way, but it seems consistent with the use of the 'delete' operator to remove a dynamic property of an Object.   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2006 4:48 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] is "delete" really the best/only way to remove a node in e4x?   If this is the final API, I can deal with it, it is just inconsistent and undocumented, and a bit of a shock when the rest of the api is so clean and logical. I admit I have not read the e4x specification.
