I'd do that, but I'm also trying to preserve the order in which things occur, like given this xml... <pets> <dog/> <cat/> <snake/> <dog/> <dog/> <ant/> <bird/> <dog/> </pets> ...then, I'd traverse the resulting XMLList, and using a switch statement, render things a certain way on the stage, but keeping the order. So, in other words, only the dog and bird tags should render, and in order that they occur. - Michael M. > Have you tried: myXMLListDogs:XMLList = pets..dog myXMLListBirds:XMLList = pets..bird _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
