[flexcoders] E4X Syntax with XMLList

[boy_trike]

I am having problems trying to extract the data field from the following XMLList

<mx:XMLList id="cbData">
    <menu label='E' data='1' />
    <menu label='X' data='10' />
    <menu label='D' data='12' />
    <menu label='C' data='100' />
    <menu label='M' data='1000' />
</mx:XMLList>

I am  trying something like x = [EMAIL PROTECTED] == 'M').data
and expect the x to have a value of 1000. 

What am I doing wrong

Thanks
Bruce
