[Resolved] [Resolved] querying xml with actionscript

[ohtheirony]

I modified the tutorial on importing xml into flash and finally got flash 5 to display my xml doc. Now, I'm trying to write a way to search the file, retrieving only search-relevant nodes and their children, but I can't find the best way. Please advise. So far, the only thing that works is pulling the nodeName from the xml doc, but I can only return that node's value to my dynamic text variable. I want that node and all its children returned to the variable.
Thanks.

I this bit of code gets the node name that you want:

myXML.firstChild.nodeName

then

trace (myXML.firstChild);

Will output all of the nodevalue, and childnodes for that node.

BTW which tutorial are you using?

Thanks

Thanks for your response. I have made some headway in querying since the post, thanks to you. The tutorial I was using was called FLash 5 and XML. I don't have a link for it. It was a basiscs on entering your xml data into flash.
For my project, I need to build a searchable XML database with Flash as the front end, and no middleware. The dB is not that big so it doesn't put too much stress on Flash. The best query I have now looks something like:

for (i=0;i<=elementList.length;i++) {
if (recordElementName == "Name_I_Want" && recordElementValue == searchTerm) {
result_display += recordElementValue.
}else{
result_display = "No Data Found."

I'm basically learning XML and actionscript as I go. If there is a tutorial or an example somewhere showing how someone else already did this, that would be great. Thanks again for your help.
