[RESOLVED] dynamic XML parse node HELP!

[neo1487]

Here is my XML layout:

<xml>
   <seriesA>
      <chart_form>
         <total_return>75.41%</total_return>
      </chart_form>
   </seriesA>
</xml>

I usually do this:

function ParseSeriesData(seriesInput:XML):void {
    stats.htmlText = seriesInput.seriesA.chart_form.total_return;
}

But I want to do something like this:

var mynode:String = "seriesA";

function ParseSeriesData(seriesInput:XML):void {
    stats.htmlText = seriesInput.mynode.chart_form.total_return;
}

Thanks in advance.

Try:

seriesInput[mynode].chart_form.total_return

The livedocs list all the methods available for XML and XMLList, as well as having links to the E4X specification. here
Use the child method.

stats.htmlText = seriesInput.child(mynode).chart_form.total_return;
