I’m trying to get a conditional attribute list and keep getting this error ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable @title is not defined. tried examples… trace("1 - "+myXML.video.@title); trace("2 - "+myXML.video.(@title == “foo”)); trace("3 - "+myXML.video.@title.name); trace("4 - "+myXML.video.(@title == “foo”).name); 1 - gives me the list (as string) of all video titles 2 - gives me the error 3 - gives me an empty response, shouldn’t this be the name tag value? I also tried @title[0] to try and get the first “foo” listed 4 - gives me the error The reference is from a tutorial here… [http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/using\_xml\_as3\_pg6.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/flashcs3/using_xml_as3_pg6.htm) using Flash CS4 and actionscript 3 I’m not sure what i’m doing wrong here
