I´m trying to do something like this

var searchResults:XMLList = xmlData.Rows;
searchResults = searchResults.( attribute(“id”) == 15 || attribute(“id”) == 16 );
This works but i have an Array with the id´s to search somebody know if exist something like the clause “IN” ( SQL ).

searchResults = searchResults.( attribute(“id”) IN [15,16] );

if somebody have an idea, I really appreciate.

Usefull if you want to filter a list based on the name’s of the node but want to allow more then one. Note this will mess-up if you have a local variable named ‘name’ (this confuses the scope).

var list:XMLList = myXML.children().(name() == 'nameA' || name() == 'nameB');

You could also combine it with an Array to make it really dynamic, but don’t forget to convert name() to a String! This is because it actually is something else, a QName or Object):

var allowedNodes:Array = ['nodeA', 'nodeB', 'nodeC'];
var list:XMLList = myXML.children().(allowedNodes.indexOf(name().toString() > -1));

[action script]

var filteredList:XMLList = new XMLList();
getUniqueValues2(attribute(“ctyName”),xmlTest, filteredList);

private function getUniqueValues2(value:Object, inputList:XML, outputList:XMLList):void
{
if(!inputList.contains(value))
{
outputList += value;
}
}

flash builder is telling me: Call to a possibly undefined method attribute.
Is there a way to pass an attribute in a funtion? Because when I use your system with:

tempListColl.source = xmlTest.descendants().(filteredName = removeDuplicate(attribute(“ctyName”), filteredName));

(removeDuplicate() being a carbon-copy of your addUniqueValues())

The filteredName XMLList has exactly what I want but the tempListColl is unusable. Or maybe I messed up my syntax somewhere.

Very nice tutorial by the way.

Regards,

very useful, thank you. I have a question though: Do you know if it’s possible to sort items alphabetically?

example:

<Peter/>
<Astrid/>
<John/>

return
<Astrid/>
<John/>
<Peter/>

I was stuck in this project for a week because I couldn’t figure out how to obtain the specific information I wanted from the xml source!

Great work, I really appreciate your effort!

You believe you can use [xml][/xml] tags in your WordPress editor to embed XML.
