Firdosh,
When dealing with XML, you must also read the fine print. XMLList.parent is null if the XMLList contains stuff from different parents. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Firdosh Tangri Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 1:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [flexcomponents] XML query question hey all, I am tryin to follow the examples from the Prog in AS3 book the XML ones var x:XML = <employeeList> <employee id="347"> <lastName>Zmed</lastName> <firstName>Sue</firstName> <position>Data analyst</position> </employee> <employee id="348"> <lastName>McGee</lastName> <firstName>Chuck</firstName> <position>Jr. data analyst</position> </employee> </employeeList> x.employee.(@id == 347).lastName // This is the lastName property of the first employee node. So far so good.... so now if I should do x.employee.(@id == 347).parent shouldnt I get the parent Node as an XMLList like in my example for var cues:XMLList=(_slides.cue.(@value > previousCuePoint && @value < video_HSlider.value) i get back <cue value="20"/> <cue value="68"/> <cue value="100"/> so If i were to access a the sibling node say for value 20 I want to get the content node the url attribute var cues:XMLList=(_slides.cue.(@value > previousCuePoint && @value < video_HSlider.value).content // this would not work since it would look for content as child node for cue ( hope I am correct here ) . so if I shoudl say return the parent shouldnt that return a XMLList of the parent nodes ?? <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"> </slide> thanks for all the help :) firdosh
