[flexcoders] How to filter out nodes from an XMLList?

[ambrice]

I want to delete all nodes in an XML/XMLList that match a filter. 
Something like:

delete myxml..employee.(@name == "Bob");

However I get an error saying you can't use delete on an XMLList.  I
tried:

for each (var node:XML in myxmllist) {
  delete node;
}

But I get an error about not being able to delete a staticly assigned
variable or something like that.  There also doesn't seem to be a
node.remove() method or anything handy like that.  Actionscript's E4X
implementation seems to think that you would only want to add nodes to
an XML.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Aaron
