You can pick nodes by adding a comparison into your XML path

Conteudo.(@id == link) will give you the correct node too

Hi,

thank you all.

I've managed to do it like this, based on what Cor wrote me:

function clickItemTitle(e:Event):void {
   _link = String(e.target.frameLink);

   var node:int;

   for (var i:Number = 0; i < conteudo.length(); i++)
   {
       if (conteudo[...@id == _link)
       {
           node = i;
       }
   }
   trace ("node: " + node);


then I just use conteudo[node] to access the content.

I was trying to do that without using a for loop ,  but maybe it
wouldn't be possible. anyway I believe there's no need to avoid a loop
here, even if there's 1200 nodes in my XML, right?

Allandt, I actually didn't understand the use of toXMLString(), at
least in this situation..

cheers!

also if you're tracing xml, you could try trace(myXML.toXMLString());
which will make sure that even the root node of the xml is traced

Try this:

trace (conteudo.slide[...@id);

from an XML list.

I have an XMLList  and I would like to retrieve a node in this list
that contain a specfic attribute.

here is how my XMLlist "conteudo" is organized. trace (conteudo)
throws:

<slide id="apresentacao">
<tit>Apresentação</tit>
<txt> (....lots of text...)</txt>
</slide>
<slide id="sumario">
<tit>Apresentação</tit>
<txt> (....lots of text...)</txt>
</slide>
etc...

I've tried the following ways:

// gets all nodes that contain the attribue "id". that is , the same
as trace(conteudo), cause every node contain an
//      "id" attribute. i don't need them all to contain the
attribute, but i've made so, trying to avoid errors. so there a lot of
//      nodes in which the "id" attribute is equal to "" .
//    trace (conteudo.(hasOwnProperty("@id"));

//    this one doesn't throws an error, but doesn't retrieve anything
//    trace (conteudo.(hasOwnProperty("@id" == "apresentacao")));

// throws the error: ReferenceError: Error #1065: A variá vel
apresentacao não foi definida. (variable not defined)
//    trace (conteudo.(hasOwnProperty("@id" == apresentacao)));

//      same reference error...
//    trace (conteudo.(hasOwnProperty(@id == "apresentacao")));

//       why it doesn't work like this? same reference errpr
//    trace ("node i want: " + conteudo.(@id == "apresentacao"));

//      this one doesn't throws an error, but doesn't retrieve
anything
//    trace ("vamo ve: " + conteudo.("@id" == "apresentacao"));

//    throws all the attributes "@id" that exist inside the xmllist,
concatenated
//    trace ("" + conteu...@id);

// again, here it throws all the attributes "@id" that exist inside
the xmllist , concatenated
//    if (conteudo.(hasOwnProperty("@id" == "apresentacao")))
//    {
//            trace ("tem o id: ");
//            trace (conteu...@id);
//    }

help please!!
