I just wanted to say thanks for all of your help so far, lifesavers!

Can I call a varible name in place of a node name in an XML call?

windowXML

\<type title=“SLIDER”\>  
\<style title=“XO SLIDER”\>  
\<window\>  
\<model\>2020\</model\>  
\<base\>150\</base\>  
\<width\>24\</width\>  
\<height\>24\</height\>  
\</window\>

var typeSelected:String = windowXML.type.style.@title;

How do I call the style or any field with a variable that isnt the node name? Is this possible?

Thanks again

Jason
