Tracy, that's what I thought too, but the live docs says you can delete
XMLLists (
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/operators.html#delete_(XML)).
Maybe this is a documentation bug.
Another possibility is that the ".." is getting in the way. I've had
problems with it before where it needed to be replaced with the descendants
method. Try
delete _mapDataProfile.clip.descendants("document")
Try and see if that helps.
