Hello, Has anyone found out why the parsing of a XML document fails when using a node's name (but succeeds when using an index [n]) when there is a namespace definition in the node..?
var xml:XML = <foo> <bar>good</bar> <bar xmlns="http://model.gts.com";>bad</bar> </foo> trace(xml..bar); //good good Returns both nodes if the namespace declaration is removed: <bar>good</bar> <bar>bad</bar> Can anyone tell me why? Suggestions..? Thanks, Paul --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Shailesh Mangal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I figured this out.
