XML loop through childnodes problem

Hello guys,

So here’s my problem.

I have the following XML file.

[color=#0000ff]<[/color][color=#990000]rss version[/color][color=#0000ff]="[/color]**0.91**[color=#0000ff]">[/color]

[color=#0000ff]</[/color][color=#990000]rss[/color][color=#0000ff]>[/color]

i am trying to get the length of the childnodes in order to loop through the items and manipulate them in some way with Flash MX Pro 2004.

i am using the following:

 xmlLength = myXML.firstChild.childNodes.length

but the result is “1”.

I know that it make sense but how is it possible with the current structure to get the length of items?

Hope it makes sense :slight_smile:
