Almost all "properties" ain e4x are implemented as methods. So you want localName(). Try:
topElement.descendants.(localName() =="X" || localName() == "Y") ; Tracy ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jim Hayes Sent: Friday, April 18, 2008 8:31 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Filtering descendant XML nodes based on multiple tag names Have you tried topElement.descendants().(localName =="X" || localName == "Y") ? Not able to check the exact syntax on that just now (is localName an attribute???) , but I think that's worked for me before. There was a post yesterday that seemed to be concerned with a similar sort of thing, you may want to check that as well. -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> on behalf of westmeadboy Sent: Fri 18/04/2008 07:50 To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [flexcoders] Filtering descendant XML nodes based on multiple tag names I would like to get all descendants having a tag name of either X or Y. Can this be done in one nice expression? I want something like this: topElement..(X|Y) or topElement..(localName == "X" || localName == "Y") But neither of those seem to work. At the moment I have to do topElement..* and then filter programatically. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Filtering-descendant-XML-nodes-based-on-multiple-t ag-names-tp16760756p16760756.html <http://www.nabble.com/Filtering-descendant-XML-nodes-based-on-multiple- tag-names-tp16760756p16760756.html> Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com. __________________________________________________________ This communication is from Primal Pictures Ltd., a company registered in England and Wales with registration No. 02622298 and registered office: 4th Floor, Tennyson House, 159-165 Great Portland Street, London, W1W 5PA, UK.
