I'm using a e4x resultformat and returning from an httpservice a xml list of
items which works fine when i just use

for each(var item:Object in nutritionXML.breakfast.itemdata)

but if i try to do it dynamically it wont work?

//DYNAMICALLY
var carousel:String;

carousel = "breakfast"; 

for each(var item:Object in nutritionXML + [carousel].itemdata)
{
