> Did you look at my example? Thanks, and I did, but I couldn't pick out anything that would help, at least noting that I am not already doing. It's part of a huge Flex app (well, huge to me, 110+ class files so far), so what part would you like me to post? I'm not sure what information you're missing. As I posted, it does return the right node, as evidenced when I trace out with toXMLString() - but when I tell it to expand based on that node, it simply doesn't. I'm happy to post more, I just don't know what you need.
