Great explanation!! It helped me a lot. I only have to do 1 thing now. Can it save the XML file automatically? I Mean I have like this save button, and when it is clicked I want it to make the changes to the XML that already exist.

Now I use the fileReference Class.

var fr : FileReference = new FileReference();
fr.save(ba, “myXML.xml”);

this works like a charm but…it gives a ‘save as dialog screen’. I don’t want that. I just want that people click the button and that the original XML file is automatically edited. Is this possible?

Thanks for this info. But the code
trace(xml..animal.(@age == 1).parent());
in your article doesn’t work. I have been struggling to get the parent node of a node, for which I know the attribute value. But this just doesn’t work… Are you confirmed?

I guess I fall in that group that has been using it without realising. This new way of dealing with xml has been one of my favourite AS3 improvements. Great tutorial to, I picked up a few new things along the way.
This is good if you add some thing that how we can get the date and show in the list for example the name of the animals, pics etc if avialable .
Thanks
