I am using E4X to bind some values from xml in flex 3.
There is a problem when xml tag's (or attribute's) name has special character in it: having xml content
var xml:XML = <tag>
<special-name att="val" />
</tag>
special-name could not be accessed using xml.special-name.@att because it is interpreted as subtraction, on the other hand using square bracket notation xml['special-name'].@att breaks binding chain.
Is there an elegant way to solve this (like special language syntax) without writing custom binding setters and listeners?
