RE: [Flashcoders] AS3 - XML Filter by Date
Thank you, that helped a lot. For anyone else trying to filter by date, here's the line of code: var today:Date = new Date(); var showXML:XMLList = result_xml.item.(new Date(date.toString()) = today); Thanks, Doug Coning Senior Flash / ASP.Net Developer Webize Interactive Media 345 Massachusetts Avenue Indianapolis, Indiana dcon...@webize.com -Original Message- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of David Hershberger Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 5:02 PM To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] AS3 - XML Filter by Date You can filter XML with arbitrary boolean functions, so the answer is definitely yes.
