That makes sense and I guess I should have rephrased my question. I have multiple levels of level1 and I need to preserve the hierarchy. I would assume you would need a for loop to do this. Any ideas?
<level1> <level2> <level3/> <level3/> <level3/> </level2> </level1> <level1> <level2> <level3/> <level3/> </level2> </level1> Transformed to... <level1> <level3/> <level3/> <level3/> </level1> <level1> <level3/> <level3/> </level1> --- In [email protected], "Jason Hawryluk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yes; basically > > Grab level3 into an xmllist var > > delete level 2 append level 3 to level 1. > > var tempxml:XMLList = myxml..level3; > delete myxml.level2; > myxml.append(tempxml); > > the above code is off the top of my head.
