I think matches.match.length() -- not matches.match.length -- should give you the number of <match> tags. - Gordon ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Thompson Sent: Tuesday, November 28, 2006 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Built-in way to determine the number of XML elements I'm trying to see if a response from the server is empty. So, in one case I end up with: <root> <matches/> </root> And in the other, I get: <root> <matches> <match ... /> </matches> </root> Using this fancy E4X, how do I test for the different conditions? I always seem to be getting back an XMLList, be it empty or not. I can't imagine I have to iterate this and check that it's zero at the end, but length doesn't do it, and I can't check for null because I'm always getting an XMLList. Thanks, -DT
