[osflash] E4X question

[Alias™]

Thanks Jake.

Cool, that clears things up a bit. My problem is that I need to find all the
items of a certain type in a document, but I also need to understand their
context, because I need to build a tree structure. Is there any way to get
the context of the returned item? Like an xml equivalent of movieclip.parent?

Or maybe I should just make my own recursive function and do that. Gah. I
hate recursion...

Cheers,
Alias
