This may be functionally the same thing as you did (but easier semantically to
understand) but I did the following (at least as close as I can remember typing
this from my BlackBerry)
arColl = {srv.lastResult.tags.to.desried.elements}
var num:int = arColl.length

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Setting a label to be the length of a List component
I solved the problem in a "brute force" method of counting iteratively
during the process of compiling the XML file and writing out the
<length> tag before each major closing tag. This is actually a nifty
technique because accessing the size of a cluster of elements works
just like OOP convention of (something).length - though "length" is
sometimes followed by empty parenthesis.
