[osflash] E4X question

[Samuel Agesilas]

Hello all,

Peter...
I don't think he meant that your XPath implementation was slow, but in  
general anything build on top of AS3 will be a little slower than the  
native instruction set in the Flash Player. The question is how much  
will that make a difference at runtime for the program in question.

Alias...
The nodes that you get back are references not clones. Which means if  
you modify your e4X result they will update your XML tree.
Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Sam
