There ARE eserved names that cause problems, but I would not have expected of those you found.
The general solution is to use bracket notation to resolve the object. But before you try that, trace the xml using toXMLString(). Neither trace() nor toString() handle simple nodes like you would expect. You problem may just be in your debugging technique!

I have an XML file with nodes with name attributes. I'm trying to get the list of nodes that match a particular name="..." Using ... trace(xmlConfig.descendants(Constants.fieldField).(attribute("name") == "ccy") ); Returns the expected nodes ... but some other names don't work (even though they are indeed in the XML). Are there reserved names or characters? The following names don't work comments, test, callput ... I don't see a common thread to what works and doesn't. Does anyone have a good e4x reference or any tips for things to watch out for with it? Thanks in advance ... Paul
