Get tagnames of XML elements

[laurence485]

hi,
what i want to do is get the tag names of all the XML elements with the attribute name="fantasy" for example:

<books>
<book>
<book1 name="adfasfd2"></book1>
<book2 name="fantasy"></book2>
<book3 name="fantasy"></book3>
<book4 name="hello123"></book4>
</book>
</books>

i.e. i would like to trace "book2" and "book3"

thanks for any help

There's probably a more succinct way of writing this, but this should work:

for each( var element:XML in xml.book.children() ){
   if(element.@name == 'fantasy') {
      trace( 'element name:' + element.name() );
   }
}

thanks, that is what was needed!
