how delete nodes according to his attribute ?

[cosmicvibs]

Sorry i will stop to ask that much in the forum and try myself but  i have another problem.. I would like to be able to delete a node according to his attribute  "id" of the node "adverts". ?????

  here is the xml script :

<page id="Page1">
    <adverts id="0">
      <adfile>file1</adfile>
      <adwidth>1</adwidth>
      <adheight>50</adheight>
      <adposx>212</adposx>
      <adposy>375</adposy>
    </adverts>
    <adverts id="1">
      <adfile>file2</adfile>
      <adwidth>1</adwidth>
      <adheight>50</adheight>
      <adposx>7</adposx>
      <adposy>69</adposy>
    </adverts>
    <adverts id="2">
      <adfile>file3</adfile>
      <adwidth>1</adwidth>
      <adheight>50</adheight>
      <adposx>83</adposx>
      <adposy>303</adposy>
    </adverts>
  </page>
</Pages>

I tried like this but it didnt work :

function deleteme(evt:MouseEvent):void {
    var who_Id:int=evt.target.parent.parent.id;   // just to get the id number
    var who:String=evt.target.parent.parent.name;
    this.removeChild(evt.target.parent.parent);
    this.evt.target.parent.parent= null;
    delete Pages.page.adverts.(@id==who_Id);  //can change who_Id by a number for test
    trace(Pages);
   
   
}

It could be a simple as:

delete xml.page.adverts[who_Id];

But once a node is deleted the number names would no longer match the node number.

So maybe you are looking for this:

var xml:XML =

<Pages>

<page id="Page1">

    <adverts id="0">

      <adfile>file1</adfile>

      <adwidth>1</adwidth>

      <adheight>50</adheight>

      <adposx>212</adposx>

      <adposy>375</adposy>

    </adverts>

    <adverts id="1">

      <adfile>file2</adfile>

      <adwidth>1</adwidth>

      <adheight>50</adheight>

      <adposx>7</adposx>

      <adposy>69</adposy>

    </adverts>

    <adverts id="2">

      <adfile>file3</adfile>

      <adwidth>1</adwidth>

      <adheight>50</adheight>

      <adposx>83</adposx>

      <adposy>303</adposy>

    </adverts>

  </page>

</Pages>

var who_Id:int=1;

for (var i:Number = 0; i <  xml.page.adverts.length(); i++) {

     if (xml.page.adverts.@id==String(who_Id)) {

          delete xml.page.adverts;

     }

}

trace(xml);
