I'm not sure the filtering predicate operator will work for a variable.
I think you're going to need to do this instead:
var matches:XMLList = new XMLList();
var i:int = 0;
for each (var emp:XML in x.employee)
{
if (emp[testVar] == testValue)
{
matches[i++] = emp;
}
}
The e4x compiler is going to generate code similar to this, so I don't
think we're doing anything too inefficient here.

Good thought, and I saw this suggestion in another related post,
however this always returns an empty list.
Is this possibly a bug?
Do you know that this should in fact work? I have not seen any
documentation stating that it should or shouldn't.
thanks,
