Is there a reason to have <s> as a child node instead of an attribute?
Sorting would be a lot easier if <s> was an attribute of <p> instead of
a child node. For example:
var myXML:XML = new XML(<all>
<p s="dog" />
<p s="cat" />
<p s="bird" />
<p s="cat" />
<p s="sheep" />
<p s="goat" />
<p s="cat" />
</all>);
var myXMLList:XMLList = myXML.p.(@s == "cat");
trace(myXMLList);

Subject: [Flashcoders] E4X question
Hi list...
I can't seem to get the right E4X statement. I'm trying to get an
XMLList of all the p tags that have an s tag that is a certain string.
I've tried all sorts of combinations, thinking this one would work, but
it doesn't:
// where animal is passed "dog"
var list:XMLList = XMLList(all..p..(s.toString()==animal).parent());
or even
var list:XMLList = XMLList(all..(s.toString()==animal).parent());
Help! Thanks,
- Michael M.
