Here are two quick ways of doing it, depending on whether you want child
nodes or the element itself. Both are shown in the trace so you can
experiment and modify this to suit your needs.
var myXML:XML = <ANIMALS>
<MAMMALS>
<MAMMAL>human</MAMMAL>
<MAMMAL>cow</MAMMAL>
<MAMMAL>dog</MAMMAL>
</MAMMALS>
<BIRDS>
<BIRD>blackbird</BIRD>
<BIRD>dove</BIRD>
<BIRD>
<BIRDIE>test</BIRDIE>
</BIRD>
</BIRDS>
<FISHES>
<FISH>fishAndChips</FISH>
<FISH>goldfish</FISH>
<FISH>herring</FISH>
<FISH>shark</FISH>
<MAMMAL>whale</MAMMAL>
</FISHES>
</ANIMALS>;
function traceNode (xmlObj:XML, nodeName:String):void {
for each (var element:XML in xmlObj..*) {
if (element.name() == nodeName) {
trace(element);
}
}
trace("--");
trace(xmlObj..*.(name() == nodeName));
}
traceNode(myXML, "FISH");
