Those are valid use cases, and your suggestion isn't a bad one. (Note: the following is my mind wandering and isn't really related) I speculate that there is a better way. Within those use cases there are still some issues, what if the object in question is a member of a collection? I think what we need is XPath on the object model. I better stop thinking about this or I'll end up porting JXPath to AS3 and my clients will wonder why their projects aren't getting done.
