Re: [FleXML-Users] Newbie question...

Very interesting Mike.  Thanks for the very clear example.  I am almost
positive that any code I had added to support attribute access from
end-tags did *not* keep a stack of attribute values, thus accounting
exactly for the behaviour you are seeing.

So this is a definite bug.

Until this bug gets fixed, I think you'll have to keep your own stack of
attribute values that you are interested in, pushed at start-tag time
and popped at end-tag time.  That's not ideal, but at least your code
could work that way.

Thanks again for the bug report,

Will
