What is even more interesting is that you can execute any actionscript inside an expression:

Ah - I see you got that with your function example above - I missed that first time round!

Thanks for the tips! I expanded on this today to use regular expressions, to match nodes containing particular attribute values, for example in my application I want to grab all items that are either a page or gallery item:

var results:XMLList = xml.node.(attribute('type').toString().match(/\b(page|gallery)\b/));

What is even more interesting is that you can execute any actionscript inside an expression:

var results:XMLList = xml.node.(trace(attribute('type').toString()));

Thanks for the pointers

You're welcome Jonah. I had planned to add more to this article, but clearly that hasn't happened yet

cool. i've found that a lot of E4X tutorials stop just after the basics, and all that's left is the tome sized PDF that the ECMA people put out. thanks for breaking down a couple more concepts:)

Hi Bruce, the theme is called Mandigo, from somebody named Tom. The credits are in the footer.

Can you tell me who did your layout? I've been looking for one kind of like yours. Thank you.
