RE: [flexcoders] E4X Syntax with XMLList

[Gordon Smith]

The code

    var value:String = cbData.(@label == "M")[EMAIL PROTECTED];

will set value to "1000". You don't "dot down" into <menu> when you
start with <XMLList>.

What value are you getting? The following line of code should work:

var value:String = cbData.menu.(@label == "M")[EMAIL PROTECTED];

That'll only work if you guarantee that there'll be only one menu
element with the "M" label... here's a slightly safer version: 

var value:String = cbData.menu.(@label == "M")[EMAIL PROTECTED];

        I am having problems trying to extract the data field from the
following XMLList
        
        <mx:XMLList id="cbData">
        <menu label='E' data='1' />
        <menu label='X' data='10' />
        <menu label='D' data='12' />
        <menu label='C' data='100' />
        <menu label='M' data='1000' />
        </mx:XMLList>
        
        I am trying something like x = [EMAIL PROTECTED] == 'M').data
        and expect the x to have a value of 1000. 
        
        What am I doing wrong
        
        Thanks
