OK, first off, thanks to everyone for their help on this. I think I have a basic understanding of things now.
Tom, namespaceDeclarations() does return an array, but default namespaces do not seem to be included in it if you have an XML var that was extracted from a larger piece of data, like a SOAP response. If you define a simple XML var in your code, however, the default namespace is included in the array returned by namespaceDeclarations(). This is very puzzling behavior that I would still love to get some clarification on. Should it really behave this way? Gordon, thanks for your clarifications, although in my case it seems that not passing an argument to the namespace() method works but passing an empty string does not, as you can see in my example below. I also think the ability to pass a QName to labelField would be awesome. Here are the results of my basic test. // create xml var from a subset of my SOAP response var x:XML = new XML(event.message.body); namespace d = "http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata";; use namespace d; var x2:XML = new XML(x..Metadata); // x2.toString() <Metadata xmlns="http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata";> <RPRDocumentHistory> <MetadataType>RPRDocumentHistory</MetadataType> </RPRDocumentHistory> </Metadata> // x2.namespaceDeclarations().toString() (returns nothing, array is empty) // x2.namespace() http://fmr.com/BackOffice/DocumentMetadata // x2.namespace("") undefined Thanks, Ben ------------------------ Yahoo!
