How to get XML child number

Working now, thanks.

You need to call a method these days:

Say you have an XML Object like the following:

var myXMLExample:XML =
<EXAMPLE>
<ITEM>
<FRUIT>Apple</FRUIT>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
<FRUIT>Kiwi</FRUIT>
</ITEM>
<ITEM>
<ANIMAL>Fruitbat</ANIMAL>
</ITEM>
</EXAMPLE>

trace(myXMLExample.ITEM.length()); //since there are three ITEMS
trace(myXMLExample.ITEM.FRUIT.length()); //since there are only two ITEMS with FRUIT
//first trace gives you: 3
//second trace gives you: 2
