Simple XML problem with children with the same name

[blaineJoubert]

I want flash to trace this:

<myxml version="1.0">
<promotion promotion-id="666">
<answer value="answer1"/>
<answer value="answer2"/>
</promotion>
</myxml >

so i do this in flash ac3

var sendAns:XML = <myxml />;
sendAns.@version = "1.0";
sendAns.promotion.@["promotion-id"] = _nPromoID;
sendAns.promotion.answer.@value = "answer1"
sendAns.promotion.answer.@value = "answer2";


trace (sendAns);

The trace only shows 1 answer

<myxml version="1.0">
<promotion promotion-id="666">
<answer value="answer1"/>
</promotion>
</myxml

I understand the problem of it over-riding answer but something like this doesnt work:

sendAns.promotion.answer[0].@value = "answer1"
sendAns.promotion.answer[1].@value = "answer2"

there is a semi colon missing on line 4 of the example - is this in your code? i dont know as3, but it might not be tolerent of that!?

Have you tried
sendAns.promotion.appendChild(<answer value="answer1"/>);
sendAns.promotion.appendChild(<answer value="answer2"/>);
