[flexcomponents] XML query question

[Firdosh Tangri]

I have a simple xml

<slide id="366" frameRate="30" totalFrames="150" advance="auto"
type="normal">
                <cue value="20"/>
                <content url="Slide1.swf"/>
               <slideTitle>1.Adobe Connect Solutions</slideTitle>

               <slideBackground index="1" frameToPlay="3" duration="00:10"
showAfterFrame="0"/>
               <notes isHTML="true">
                    Few organizations are untouched by today's imperative
to do business across geographies.
                </notes>
</slide>

I load it into an XMLList Object _slides

when I do a
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);   // traces out 20 fine

when I try
trace(_slides[0].cue.(@value=='20'));
or
trace(_slides[0].cue.(@value=='"20"));
or
trace(_slides[0].cue.(@value=='20));

I get nothing ??

thanks
cheers :)
