I can count the total number of game elements in the XML.game with:

            trace('All games: ' + XML.game.length());

Is there please some way to print the number of all game elements having the exact number of 3 user children? And also count all such elements with less than 3 user children?

            trace('Vacant games: ' + XML.game.XXXXX);
            trace('Full games: ' + XML.game.XXXX);

The backgound is, that I have a Flex game, where up to 3 players can sit at a playing table and I'm trying to display the number of All, Vacant and Full playing tables there (the top left row with RadioButtons, sorry for the non-English language):

I'm reading the XMLList doc, but don't see how to do it with one-liners, I only can see how to do it with loops...

Answer 1

Try to use the following:

xml.game.(children().length() == 3).length();
xml.game.(children().length() < 3).length();
