this isnt exactly a clean and optimized code, but it
works. just tweak it according to your needs. It
accepts both xml and xmllist. heck it will even accept
any object so long as there is a length() method in
it, however in that case, it will just return the
original object. let me know if it helped.. or if you
encounter any problems. Cheers! :)
public function
deleteDescendantsByName(a:*,nodeName:String):*{
var r:XMLList=null;
if (a.length()>=1){
r = new XMLList();
for (var i:int=0;i<a.length(); i++){
if (a[i].name().localName!=nodeName){
if
(a[i].descendants(nodeName).length()==0){
r+=a[i];
}else{
var
t:XMLList=deleteDescendantsByName(a[i].children(),nodeName);
a[i].setChildren(t);
r+=a[i];
}
}
}
}
return r;
}
