RE: [flexcoders] pulling my hair out with e4x!!!
When displaying XML, always use toXMLString(). The behavior you are
seeing with toString() which is what trace uses, is actually comformant
with ECMA.
trace(myXML.toXMLString());

yes, i tried it and have it working now- mostly user error but I must
say not being able to debug e4x expressions has ruined my day on many
occasions.
i was using toString on the xml list, thinking it would show me the xml
node it found and children (if any), toString was returning nothing and
a length of 0 so I assumed nothing was coming back. when i added
children, the toString started showing me the node i was trying to find.
so, the blank response held the object i was looking for- but toString
was not showing it.
thanks for your help on this!

I believe our implementation follows the E4X spec. I don't know why the
spec committee designed it this way.

toXMLString is almost always the way to go. I hit a major problem
related to that early on in our application. I was passing XML objects
to the server in an httpService.send(xml), this method will call
toString on the objects you pass it to shove them in the HTTP
parameters. if you have no children in your XML object, toString returns
empty string, and it took me quite a while to figure out why the server
wasn't getting any data from my flex app. Now I make sure to explicitly
call toXMLString if I'm sending XML objects on my services.
I've seen plenty of other posts about this and was actually wondering
why toXMLString is not the default string representation of an XML
object?

You probably want to use toXMLString() rather than toString().

Re: [flexcoders] pulling my hair out with e4x!!!
I've never used the attribute syntax you're using, so I'm not familiar with
it, but in your first employee example this syntax returned the matching
node, have you tried it?
debugModel.employees.node.(@display == "Employee First Name")
looks like you added another level in your latest example so for that case
this should return the node:
debugModel.group.(@label == "Employees").node.(@label == "Employee First
Name")

thanks guys, i'm sure that my xml is valid, i've refined what i'm trying to

public var debugModel:XML =

what i'm trying to do is find any node that has a certain label, like so
var fieldNode:XMLList = debugModel.children().node.(attribute("label") ==
"Employee First Name");
and no matter what i try it is not working, what it seems to be doing is
returning me all children of the node i'm looking for (there are none). if

Re: [flexcoders] pulling my hair out with e4x!!!
ok so this is just nutty
apparently the reason it's different is because in the example i put that
works, the 'person' node has children. what that has to do with it I have
no idea, but apparently- e4x is not returning me self closing nodes with no
children. anybody know what is up with this???

[flexcoders] pulling my hair out with e4x!!!
can someone please explain why this does not return an XMLList?
public var debugModel:XML =
.
var fieldNode:XMLList = debugModel.employees.node.(attribute("display") ==
"Employee First Name");
but this does...
public var thePeople:XML =
27
Mims H Wright
Teh AWesoeomes!
.
var fieldNode:XMLList = thePeople.person.(attribute("suffix") == "III");
i've tried a million different variations and i cannot get it to work with
my XML- what am i doing wrong here?
thanks,
d.
