I am surprised you are not getting an error.  You can delete an XML
object but not an XMLList.

 

You will need to loop over the XMLList and delete the nodes
individually:

for (i:int =0;i<p.lenght()...  //I never can remember when length is a
property or method

  delete p[i]

...

Hi all

 

I have an xml structure which is like this

 

<map>

            <clip>hkjkj</clip>

            <clip>hh

                        <document> hxsjka</document>

            </clip>

            <clip>

                        <document>kkkkkkk</document>

            </clip>

</map>

 

And I want to delete the document nodes in one swoop ..

 

var p:XMLList = _mapDataProfile.clip..document

delete _mapDataProfile.clip..document

var s:XMLList=_mapDataProfile.clip..document 

 

but p and s are the same  - what am I missing here?

 

Thanks !

 

Matt
