I have used this function to delete the child nodes of a function. I
think that you could replace the "children()" with any e4x expression:
private function deleteChildren(xmlNode:XML):void
{
var xlChildren:XMLList = xmlNode.children();
for (var i:int=xlChildren.length()-1;i>=0;i--)
{
delete xlChildren[i]; //so
remove all the children
}
}//deleteChildren

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