I suppose that every element in the file uses the namespace, since it is the "default" namespace, ie: xmlns="http://path.to.com/someplace"; Here's how I'm removing the namespace, rather, trying to: where myXML:XML is a parsed XML document for (var i:uint = 0; i < myXML.namespaceDeclarations().length; i++) { var ns:Namespace = myXML.namespaceDeclarations()[i]; var prefix:String = ns.prefix; myXML.removeNamespace(ns); } As an example, I have two namespaces at the root of my document declared. One is a custom namespace with a prefix (and no elements use it) - this one is removed. The other is the default namespace, without a prefix, this one sticks around. -Steve Peter Farland wrote: > I've found that removeNamespace() doesn't work if there are existing > attributes or elements using that namespace... have you tried first > deleting any of these and then tried to remove the namespace?
