Compare and contrast:

var artData:XML = new XML(<art>
        <bios>
                <artist f="Peter" s="Agrafiotis">A longtime resident of
Southern Maine, Peter Agrafiotis has always been fascinated with the
timelessness of nature</artist>
                <artist f="Larry" s="Denning">He sucks</artist>
                <artist f="Susan" s="Agrafiotis">She rocks</artist>
        </bios> 
</art>);


var lastName = "Agrafiotis";
var artistBio:XMLList = artData.bios.artist.(@s==lastName);
trace(artistBio)

That works fine for me.

Ugh!  What am I missing here?

//XML:
var artData:XML = <art>
<bios>
        <artist f="Peter" s="Agrafiotis">A longtime resident of Southern
Maine, Peter Agrafiotis has always been fascinated with the timelessness
of nature</artist>
</bios>
</art>;


var lastName = "Agrafiotis";
var artistBio:XMLList = artData.bios.artist.(@s==lastName);

// artistBio returns null -- WHY???
