] Simplify XML Call
ActionScript 3 is a compiled language. There is no such thing as an
eval function in as 3.
Well, that's the crux of my problem, Henrik. How do I get around
writing code that adds just the right number of "item units" without
doing it as a string to evalua

I appreciate Ktu's efforts here; however, Merrill is right. I've written this:
var j:String = "xml.menu.item[whichItems[0]]";
var k:String = new String();
var l:int = level;
while (l--)
{
k += ".item[whichItems

Yes, I agree totally, that can be a problem for sure.

While you have the right spirit I think that it would be a better idea
to check the length of the array instead. That way you won't
accidentally step out of bounds there.

sorry should have been this:
var level:int = 5;
var xmlItem:* = xml.menu;
for (var i:int = 1; i < level; i++) {
xmlItem = xmlItem.item[this["whichItem" + ((i == 1) ? "" : i)]];
}
totalItems = xmlItem.item.l

totalItems = xmlItem.item.length;

I am doing this: ["whichItem" + ((i == 0)
You just need a recursive loop to do this. So I would write a function that
handles each node level individually, adding to a class-level private property
called something like, _totalItems. The function basically checks the XML node
to see if it has any children. If it does, it calls itself,
