I’m looking for a way to list all XMLNode that have a certain attribute, in my case, the “link” attribute.  
So i do :

```auto

var list:XMLList = xml..@link;
for each(var i in list)	{
	trace(i);
}

```

But this traces the value of the attribute and not the node containing the attribute…  
How to trace the node??
