I'm asking this more out of curiosity than necessity, but the responses

Been using xfactorstudio's Xpath classes with great success. However, I
have found an odd thing - sometimes I have to cast what I thought was
already string, to

Hi Jason,
AFAIK, XPath.selectNodes() returns an Array.
snippet from the docs
/**
10 *selectNodes
11 *
12 *returns an array of nodes that match the given XPath
13 *expression using the the XMLNode (context) as the
14 *starting
Hmm. I now see what you mean. Maybe when you pass the value without
casting it in the raw, some V2 components such as textArea etc, does
an auto cast toString and therefore can deal with it but the
MediaPlayback component is expecting a proper String and doesn't no
what to grab it if you pass

Hi Jason,
I've noticed simliar behavior but I think it's just in how you are
using
it. Generally I think Xpath will return

Maybe something like this may help?

That's using Flash's XML object with XPath to grab the node value -
sure
that works, and is good for nodes with CDATA, but overly complex -
wrapping String() around it is easier

The documentation says, that selectNodes *always* returns an array of
XMLNode-objects - and it does. Always.
The text()-syntax is only used to get the XMLNode representing a text
node -
Doesnt XPath.selectNodes(myxml, pathtocontent/text()); return the
text
value as well?
Sure, but I don't think that works on attribute values (as in my example
in my post).
