Thanks everyone for your responses. The real xml was actually more complicated

Yeah you should add attributes to your game nodes to seperate them:

then you can use E4X to find the actually amount of users in each game:

Hi,
I am not sure you can count the sub-nodes without having some sort
of differentiator between parent nodes.
You might have to loop through the list of games to find how many
users are in each one as your tests for 2 & 3 are returning the total
number of "user" nodes in the tree.

Just because you CAN do it (as this document is just that,

I mean, you CAN put underscores in class names. You CAN start class

My point is that the source (XHTML) was following best practices for

By contrast, the OP's source was XML, but it was not following best

You might want to try following XML standards and best practices by not

The only time I've seen hyphens in XML is when salespeople and other

Hi guys,
Quick E4X question.
I have an XML node, with an attribute inside, the name of which
contains a dash "-".
How can I access the value of this node via e4x inside actionscript?
FDT doesn't seem to like the concept at all...
Example:
I want to get the value of "some-attribute".
