To be honest i prefer not to pass through nodenames as data but seeing as bayes had a datasource that he couldn't change i just parsed the existing tree structure like this. If i havent got much text to pass through i like to keep the values as attributes - it allows for a slimmer tree structrue and you dont have to go tunneling through various branches.

I think my method of working with XML changes everytime i tackle a job. I only like to put them into arrays so that i can sort() (plus other array functions) them if need be. I'm not so sure you can do that while they are xml objects.

Well thats my story and im sticking with it;)

Yeah, I know what you mean about it changing for each project... since for every project you have a different stucture and the data may have to be parsed differently in Flash.

And that story is logical, so you can stick with it ;) 8)

lol - cheers, but i didnt mean it like that.....

For example i dont usually parse xml into an array - i sometimes just access the xml objects themselves. It's only recently that i've started processing them into object arrays. oh well, each to their own etc etc.

nice forum btw - bookmarked! :)

Hi,
I saw this old post and i found it very useful. Is there a possibility to select specific attributes from all nodes?... for instance, from the xml code above, extract a list of all 'creatures' with one specific attribute.. let's say 'isa=mammal' ?

thanks in advance for any comment

Post your actionscript code. I highly doubt its a problem with the xml.
If at first you don't succeed F1... If that doesn't work try Google!
