escaping XML "queries"

[benh]

Hi there,

I'm stuck on an XML query because the XML uses the reserved word "for" in it's namespace;

The tricky bit of the XML looks like this;


<AwayRecord win="3" draw="1" lost="1" for="11" against="7" />

<HomeRecord win="4" draw="0" lost="1" for="10" against="3" />






This works

sFHomeFor = H2HData.ClubRecord[i].SeasonRecord.ResultsBreakdown.AwayRecord.@against

but this


sFHomeFor = H2HData.ClubRecord[i].SeasonRecord.ResultsBreakdown.AwayRecord.@for

causes a compile error;
"1084: Syntax error: expecting identifier before for."

Any ideas? This one's got me stumped...

Cheers

Ben

As far as I know, you'll need to change the attribute in the XML, I had problems like this with 'name' and 'x' and such, so I just changed them, and it obviously worked fine.
Since you're using Flash I'll assume you're not printing directly from XML, so you'll be able to relabel them if you wish. I'd suggest doing things this way.

Nope - it's a feed - so no option of changing it unfortunately...

use .@["for"];

That did it - many thanks SpaceHunter!
