This is my XML:
<root>
<terms>
<word type="term1" value="Definition for term1."/>
<word type="term2" value="Definition for term2."/>
<word type="term3" value="Definition for term3."/>
<word type="term4" value="Definition for term4."/>
</terms>
</root>
To access particular node I use the following:
var definition:XMLList = myXml.terms.word.@type;
This allows me to easily access any node just by typing: definition
So, far I've built a list of words consisting of attributes, and if I click on of them, it displays the "value" attibute.
However, I'd like to add a search option, and this is where I have some problems. I know I can find an attribute with the following:
var definition:XMLList = myXml.terms.word.(@type == "term3");
But how do I retrieve appropriate "value" attribute corresponding to that "type" attribute? Is there any way to get the number of this node, so I could use then something like valueXMLList, or maybe there's a different, better way?

function completeF(e:Event):void{
var myXml=XML(e.target.data);
nodeF(myXml.terms.word.(@type=='term3'));
}
function nodeF(list:XMLList):void {
var item:XML;
for each(item in list) {
trace(item.@value);
}
}
