This is starting to drive me nuts…
Say, I have the hypothetical xml object:
[AS]var testXML:XML = <rootNode xmlns=“http://www.somedomain.com/”>
<blah>Some node</blah>
<yadda>Some other node</yadda>
</rootNode>[/AS]
and I want to traverse that xml using e4x.
Now, it’s relatively easy to say:
[AS]namespace ns = “http://www.somedomain.com/”;
trace (testXML.ns::blah); // traces Some node[/AS]
But what if, in theory, I don’t know the namespace uri. The question is: is there a way to declare a namespace using the namespace from an xml object?
I’ve tried:
[AS]namespace ns = testXML.namespace() as Namespace;
trace (testXML.ns::blah);[/AS]
but that throws the error:
1171: A namespace initializer must be either a literal string or another namespace.
which doesn’t make any sense as
[AS](testXML.namespace() as Namespace) is Namespace[/AS]
returns true. Which seems, at least in my mind, to mean that my namespace initializer *is *another namespace.
Any suggestions or ideas greatly appreciated…
