count xml tag from HTTPService.lastresult in flex 3

Question

I have a PHP file echoing the following XML:

header("content-type:xml-text");
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pages>
    <page>
        <user>1</user>
        <name>book1</name>
        <theme>mariage</theme>
        <width>20</width>
        <height>25</height>
        <images>
            <image>image1.jpg</image>
            <image>image2.jpg</image>
            <image>image3.jpg</image>
            <image>image4.jpg</image>
        </images>
    </page>
</pages>';

i'm using flex HTTPService to get the the xml file and i need to count the number of images in it (4 in this particular case).

I've used the following code and it show 0 every-time.

var pages_xml:XML = XML(httpservice.lastResult);
Alert.show(pages_xml.page.images.image.length());

can anybody help?. thank you in advance.

Answer 1

the following code worked fine.

Alert.show(httpservice.lastResult.pages.page.images.image.length);

Answer 2

There is some problem with your response, please check it, because the code to show the number of children is perfectly OK.
