Hi all,
Please help me to the following:
I use the XML connector to read an XML file. It works fine.
My question is how can I take the attributes of a specific node?
For example, in the following simple XML how can I take the attrubutes of the
node PARIS/George directly?

Thanks in advance

<node label='PARIS'>
<node label='John' tel='12345' fax='67890'/>
<node label='George' tel='12345' fax='67890'/>
</node>
<node label='Rome'>
<node label='John' tel='12345' fax='67890'/>
<node label='George' tel='12345' fax='67890'/>
</node>

If you are just reading a XML file - try use the XML class instead.

With that, browse thru your XMLNode's and get the attributes like this:

var node:XMLNode = ...
trace(node.attributes["tel"]);

or:

trace(node.attributes.tel);

hi,

this is right. Cause the XML Connector is made for use in combination with
components.

But of course u can use the XMLConnector class like so:

import mx.data.components.XMLConnector;
var myXML:XMLConnector = new XMLConnector();
var xcListener:Object=new Object();

xcListener.result=function(evtObj:Object){
var theXML:XML=evtObj.target.results; //note: "results"
var RootNode:XMLNode = theXML.firstChild;
trace(RootNode.nodeName);
}

myXML.addEventListener("result",xcListener);
myXML.URL="dasdadasd.xml";
myXML.direction = "receive";
myXML.ignoreWhite=true;
myXML.trigger();
