[Flashcoders] xpath - returning object not string?

2006-02-03 Thread Kent Humphrey

Continuing my further adventures in xpath land:

clientList = XPath.selectNodes(this, root/clients/client/@name);

trace(typeof(clientList[0]));

That trace statement returns object, so my array is an array of  
objects, not the strings I was after.


WIll I have to String(clientList[0]) everytime I need the string  
value, or is there some other way?

But doesn't that object get put into the array (clientList - declared  
as an array earlier), and I'm targeting a single item in the array?

Your query will return a list of objects which have the attribute
name. There may be more than one of them, hence you get the object.
