Question

So I have a drag and drop operation, and the data being dragged is some XML. My drophandler looks like this:

protected function dragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void
{
    var item:XML = XML(event.dragSource.dataForFormat("itemsByIndex"));
    Alert.show(item);
}

The alert looks like this:

How do can I for example get the ID of this XML? In an alert for example.

Answer 1

You can access the id property with item.id, the name with item.name, etc. There are a few resources online to learn e4x, which is the easiest way of manipulating XML in AS3.
