Attributes from XML nodes

[daffy_dowden]

Just a quick question:
Is there anyway to get the number of attributes an xml node has.

I’m just not fond of the way you have to loop through an xml node ala
http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/tools_xmlobject.html

for (attr in this.childNodes*.attributes) {
…
}

Is there nothing like childNodes*.attributes.length???

@Documentation

for (attr in doc.firstChild.attributes) {
trace (attr + " = " + doc.firstChild.attributes[attr]);
}

According to the help files you could modify it as

counter = 0;
for (attr in this.childNodes*.attributes) {
    counter++;
}
trace(counter)

Thought that might be the only way to do it.
I was just hoping the attributes property would have a method to get the number of attributes for that node.

Cheers!
