I may be becoming too ambitious here for e4x, nevertheless! I have an xml structure
var inputXML:XML = <books> <book name="da vinci code" author="dan brown" price="12.22" quantity="2"> <location city="san francisco" state="california"/> </book> <book name="angels and daemons" author="dan brown" price="10.20" quantity="4"> <location city="miami" state="florida"/> </book> <book name="digital fortress" author="dan brown" price="12.22" quantity="5"> <location city="los angeles" state="california"/> </book> </books>; I want two things from above xml document: 1. list of unique state (attribute) names from above xml. ie., list containing california,florida. I can use for each for this but is there a direct e4x expression to do this. Is there a better way? 2. merge the book elements from same state into a single element adding the prices/quantities but ignoring the name, author, city attributes and return them as xml-list. ie., <book price="24.44" quantity="7"> <location state="california"/> </book> <book price="10.20" quantity="4"> <location state="florida"/> <book> The only way I can think of doing this is to create a new xml structure containing the common attributes by looping through the original xml. Again, is there a better way? thanks in advance for the help. -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
