RE: [flexcoders] e4X delete question
I am surprised you are not getting an error. You can delete an XML object but not an XMLList. You will need to loop over the XMLList and delete the nodes individually: for (i:int =0;ip.lenght()... //I never can remember when length is a property or method delete p[i] ...

Re: [flexcoders] e4X delete question
Tracy, that's what I thought too, but the live docs says you can delete XMLLists ( http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/201/langref/operators.html#delete_(XML)). Maybe this is a documentation bug. Another possibility is that the .. is getting in the way. I've had problems with it before where it needed to be replaced with the descendants method. Try delete _mapDataProfile.clip.descendants(document) Try and see if that helps. - Dan Freiman On 10/30/07, Tracy Spratt [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am surprised you are not getting an error.
