delete xml.child.(@id=="b");
You might wanna try that first..
TypeError: Error #1119: Delete operator is not supported with operand of type XMLList.
"delete" works as long as the XMLList is not retrieved using an expression, which in this
case it is: (@id == "b").
So the following works (and deletes all elements):
var s:String = '<parent><child id="a" /><child id="b" /><child id="a" /><child id="b"
/></parent>';
var xml:XML = new XML(s);
delete xml.child;
Bug or feature? Who knows..

Subject: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes
I have some xml nodes where I need to evaluate their attributes and delete
them if they meet certain criteria. It's probably simple but its late and
brain fatigue is setting in.
Say I had this node
<parent>
<child id="a" />
<child id="b" />
<child id="a" />
<child id="b" />
</parent>
How would I find and delete any <child> who's id is "b" ?
