Question

Suppose I have an XML

<xml>

<lang>en</lang>
<en>
    <text id="123">One Two Three</text>
    <text id="hello">Hello</text>
</en>

</xml>

the “en” tag is only if the lang value is “en”.
If the value of lang is “de”

<lang>de</lang>
<de>
        <text id="123">One Two Three</text>
        <text id="hello">Hello</text>
</de>

How do I get this name dinamicaly in my actionscript 3 code.

Suppose I want to use

var xmlVal = new XML(... the above xml)
var lang = xmlVal.lang;

I can’t use if (xmlVal.lang == “en”) .. because the lang value can be any string. but there should be a child node in that name..!!

How do I get values from node “en or de or what ever..” ??

Answer 1

Haven’t tested, but this should give you the general idea (that you can dynamically select using the “key”):

var xmlVal:XML = new XML(... the above xml);

var type:String = xmlVal.lang;

var result:XML = xmlVal[type];
