Re: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes
delete xml.child.(@id=="b"); You might wanna try that first.. TypeError: Error #1119: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList. "delete" works as long as the XMLList is not retrieved using an expression, which in this case it is: (@id == "b"). So the following works (and deletes all elements): var s:String = ''; var xml:XML = new XML(s); delete xml.child; Bug or feature?

Re: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes
One way to do it is to look for the child elements which id is *not* "b".
Then replace the original child elements with the new ones, or in other words, set the remaining elements as the children of the
parent:
var s:String = '';
var xml:XML = new XML(s);
trace("before: ", xml.toXMLString());
trace("--");
var elements:XMLList = xml.child.(@id != "b");
trace("elements: ", elements.toXMLString());
trace("--");
xml.setChildren(elements);
trace("after: ", xml.toXMLString());
//output:
before:
--
elements:
--
after:

Subject: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes
I have some xml nodes where I need to evaluate their attributes and delete
them if they meet certain criteria. It's probably simple but its late and
brain fatigue is setting in.
Say I had this node
How would I find and delete any who's id is "b" ?
