[RESOLVED] Parsing a SOAP Response

[jasondefra]

Hi all, I have two web services: one fetches a password, the other builds and sends an email. In order for the email to build I need to give it the password from the first service. My send mail service tests fine, but what I'm having problems with is parsing out the service response of the password request (so I can pass that variable to the second web service).

Here's the code I currently have:

private function done(serviceResponse:XML):void {
  var mystring:String=serviceResponse.toString();
  var myxml:XML;
  myxml=new XML(mystring);
  trace (myxml);
} 

The above code traces this:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<getSendMailPasscodeResponse xmlns="http://www.omittedurl.com/webservices/">
<getSendMailPasscodeResult>passwordVariableIsHer e</getSendMailPasscodeResult>
</getSendMailPasscodeResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>


I can't figure out how to parse this so I can get the 'passwordVariableIsHere' to trace on it's own (if I can get that, then I can subsequently attach it to a variable).

Thanks.

I got it working, though I'm sure there's a much better way to do it. Here's the trace statement:

trace(xml.firstChild.childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[1].childNodes[0]); 

However, I still don't know how to reference the nodes by name, and am confused as to why it is childNodes[1] instead of childNodes[0] like it would be in Flash 8/AS2. I'll admit I'm still a bit of a noob when it comes to XML parsing in AS3, but if anyone has any tips I would appreciate it. Thanks!
