Hi,

I’ve parse my XML into a nice object, so it can be handled well.

e.g. I can reference things directly like so:  
**newsArticle.1.title.**  
**newsArticle.5.content**

The problem is, I don’t know how many newsItems there are.  
How can I cycle though all the child elements on ‘news’

In XML, this would be quite easy, using .nextSibling etc… What’s similar for Objects?

thanks,
