I'm pretty new to XML in flex too. I had about the exact same question as you 30 min ago.
This link helped a lot: http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/html/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Book_Parts&file=13_Working_with_XML_169_08.html At the end it shows for..in and for each..in. That should help you walk through it. Since you don't know anything about the XML I'm not sure how you would get the walking started... That link should help you learn until someone smarter answers :). -Nate --- In [email protected], "Kevin Aebig" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey all, > > > > First post, so be gentle. > > > > Back in the ol days, Flash developers had to use recursion to parse through > an XML document.
