Thanks Jake. Cool, that clears things up a bit. My problem is that I need to find all the items of a certain type in a document, but I also need to understand their context, because I need to build a tree structure. Is there any way to get the context of the returned item? Like an xml equivalent of movieclip.parent?
Or maybe I should just make my own recursive function and do that. Gah. I hate recursion...
