AS3 will do this when it's available. It's in the new ECMA specs.
Besides Xpath, you can also download other third party classes other people
have created which will convert your XML object to an Actionscript object you
can traverse with dot syntax:
JimsName = myXMLdoc.people[2].name
Personally, right now I like Xpath.

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] XML named node values
If the chNames do not have any key or ids, with what are you trying to
stay in sych?
If you are trying to use the node value as a key, then that is what you
have to check.
This is an XML fact of life - nothing to do with Flash or Actionscript.
XPATH will simplify the problem of finding specific nodes but traversing
the tree will work pretty easily as well.

hi list -
Q on flash and XML.
is there a way to read named values from XML without using attributes?
eg using atrribute names, a flash XML object can read named values,
like associative arrays.
channel chName='stocks' /
xmlData.attributes[chName]
but what if i want to use text nodes, like
channel
chNamestocks/chName
then it seems the only way to access the data is:
xmlData.firstChild.nodeValue
but then if i change the order of the nodes, the app loses sync with
its data.
are there some other methods to the XML object that I am missing? Or
do i have to write functions to loop thru the whole tree and check
against nodeName (eg with a search function)? I guess there are
probably some XPath libraries out there, but this would seem a basic
functionality...
Thanks!
