RE: [flexcoders] Building "flat" data object based on XML file with complicated structure

[Tracy Spratt]

Is there anyway to post that xml so it stays formatted?  I really do not like that part of the new yahoo groups.

If I use a recursive function, I only get the deepest node returned. If I use the "for each (var prop:XML in myXML.item)" loop I only get the children of the root and not the grandchildren. How do I get EVERY node??? Thanks!
