delete xml.child.(@id==b); You might wanna try that first..

Re: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes
One way to do it is to look for the child elements which id is *not* b. Then replace the original child elements with the new ones, or in other words, set the remaining elements as the children of the parent: var s:String = 'parentchild id=a /child id=b /child id=a /child id=b //parent'; var xml:XML = new XML(s); trace(before: , xml.toXMLString()); trace(--); var elements:XMLList = xml.child.(@id != b); trace(elements: , elements.toXMLString()); trace(--); xml.setChildren(elements); trace(after: , xml.toXMLString()); //output: before: parent child id=a/ child id=b/ child id=a/ child id=b/ /parent -- elements: child id=a/ child id=a/ -- after: parent child id=a/ child id=a/ /parent regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: Joel Stransky j...@stranskydesign.com To: Flash Coders List flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 4:38 AM Subject: [Flashcoders] find and delete XML nodes I have some xml nodes where I need to evaluate their attributes and delete them if they meet certain criteria.
