It's not just about missing "break", your switch statement fundamentally does not make sense (sorry ;)
switch (xmldata.pa...@pg_name.tostring()) ... this evaluates to "indexcontact" as your trace shows, therefore none of your cases will pass the test. In order to make this work you have to iterate nodes with for/for each, but no need to even do that - instead use E4X to access nodes you want. -- Kenneth Kawamoto http://www.materiaprima.co.uk/ On 5 May 2010 16:23, jonathan howe <[email protected]> wrote: > You forgot your break; statements, sir. > > On Wed, May 5, 2010 at 11:12 AM, John Singleton > <[email protected]>wrote: > >> ----- Original Message ---- >> >> > From: allandt bik-elliott (thefieldcomic.com) <[email protected]> >> > >> > i'd also recommend having a root node and an xml type declaration at >> > the start >> >> Right.
