XML parsing display question

[BACFL]

I'm clearly not understanding how to parse my XML file.  I can get the first "child" but I don't know how to get children after that.

To get the league name I use the below code which was pulled from a cffile which retrieved the XML doc and that works fine:

<cfdump var="#mydoc#">

#mydoc.league.xmlattributes.name# = NBA

In the below, what would be the code to get the "home" team "name"?

Cheers!

My XML:

xml document [short version]

league

XmlText   XmlAttributes struct alias NBA id 4353138d-4c22-4396-95d8-5f587d2df25c name NBA xmlns daily-schedule XmlText   XmlAttributes struct date 2015-12-25 games XmlText    game XmlText    XmlAttributes struct away_team 583ecc9a-fb46-11e1-82cb-f4ce4684ea4c coverage full home_team 583ecea6-fb46-11e1-82cb-f4ce4684ea4c id b55c5579-950b-4726-8d36-6467f6caa772 scheduled 2015-12-25T17:00:00+00:00 status scheduled venue XmlText XmlAttributes struct address 601 Biscayne Blvd. capacity 19600 city Miami country USA id b67d5f09-28b2-5bc6-9097-af312007d2f4 name American Airlines Arena state FL zip 33132 home XmlText XmlAttributes struct alias MIA id 583ecea6-fb46-11e1-82cb-f4ce4684ea4c name Miami Heat

mydoc.league.daily-schedule.games.game.home.xmlattributes.name

should have value

'Miami Heat'

I get the following error:

Element LEAGUE.DAILY is undefined in MYDOC.  <br>The error occurred on line 33.

Do you think the dash in daily-schedule is the issue?

Thanks!

The dash may have something to do with it. As an alternative, use the associative-array style:

mydoc.league["daily-schedule"].games.game.home.xmlattributes.name

In any case, keep to the XML best practice when naming your elements.
