XML node length (easy for the pro..)

programming flash

Hi All,

I try to get the node length from my XML file, I followed the Senocular tut on XML and AS3, very helpfull, but still I 'm stuck and any search on google or forum is a confusing mix from AS2, so please some help.

When I trace xmlData, it works fine. I found several notations for node length, I came up with this…:hangover:

code:

import fl.transitions.Tween;
import fl.transitions.easing.*;
 
var nodes:Number;
var aantal:Number;
 
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); 
var xmlData:XML = new XML(); 
xmlData.ignoreWhite=true;
 
xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML); 
xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("sampleXML.xml")); 
 
function LoadXML(e:Event):void { 
 xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
 nodes = xmlData.firstChild.length;
 aantal = nodes.length;
 trace (aantal);
}

XML file:
