Having fun with ActionScript3, E4X and XPath
I admit, I was still a bit wet behind the ears when it came to working with XML in AS3 – never did more then getting some images for a slideshow or loading some config-stuff out of a tiny 6-lines XML document. I thought, working with XML in Flash is still some myXML.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue bulls**t.
For a recent project, I had the chance to actually dive into this E4X magic and do the tricks. And yes, although I would still prefer using everything as serialized AMF, working with XML in Flash makes sense … now. And it’s definitely fun.
