dear flashers, i'm want to accessing a xml object's attributes in flash but the only way i know how is to use the name of the attributes for example:

pointerHead.childNodes[1].attributes.name;

is there any other way to access the attributes besides using the attribute name? maybe an array that will iterate through the attribute names?

thanks in advance

u betcha ...

the attributes is a collection object, so you can do anything with it that you can a collection.

Code:

str = {{{ any xml snippit }}}; // xml lost in post
doc = new XML(str);
doc.firstChild.attributes.order = "first";
doc.firstChild.attributes.order2 = "second";
doc.firstChild.attributes.order3 = "third";

for (att in doc.firstChild.attributes) {
	trace(att + " = " + doc.firstChild.attributes[att]);
}
