DotNet XML in MaxScript

[Anonymous]

Hello all,

I'm writing a little script that uses the DotNet XMLDocument object.

Previously,
I used to make extensive use of the msXML ActiveX control through MaxScript.

The sintax would usually be:

TheReleventXMLNode = TheXMLObject.firstChild.childNodes.childNodes

That makes an error in the DotNet XML,
Where I can only use:

TheReleventXMLNode = (TheXMLObject.firstChild.childNodes.itemOf 0).childNodes.itemOf 2

It's not terrible writing it that way,
But I would prefer using the more convinient and strait indexing method,
What's weird is that firstChild, lastChild, do work, but childNodes dont.


Thanks for any reply

You can use item instead of itemOf x, but I don't think the additional level of abstraction can be avoided.

Note that item is not a MAXScript array; it is zero-based rather than one-based. The first child is item, not item.
