I can't think of a reserved word example, but in e4x, you can not have a "." in a node name, like <person.name>. So if myXml is:
<person><person.name first="Paul" last="Dale" />...</person> This would be illegal: Var sLastName:String = myXml.person.name.(@first=="Paul")[EMAIL PROTECTED] But you can do: Var sLastName:String = myXml["person.name"].(@first=="Paul")[EMAIL PROTECTED] Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Dale Sent: Tuesday, November 06, 2007 5:02 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcoders] e4x oddness ... I'm not in front of flexbuilder now ... but that could be the issue ... cases where more than one returned showed up, but single instances didn't (now that I think about it). However, I'm curious what you mean by "bracket notation". Could you clarify?
