I've been banging my head on my desk for hours trying to figure out why I can't access the entry.author.name content? I've tried every possible way to access it but failed. But when I loop through all nodes with xml.children I see the author node. I see the author node is apart of the atom namespace but it doesn't have a namespace like the other namespaces. <pre> package { import flash.display.Sprite; <code>public class Gdata extends Sprite { private var xml:XML = <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:gd="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005" xmlns:yt="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007"> http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom,http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/,http://schemas.google.com/g/2005, http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007 <id> http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bwbZJw-C4Jk </id> <published> 2009-04-17T19:11:48.000Z </published> <updated> 2009-04-29T10:19:50.000Z </updated> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/categories.cat" term="News" label="News & Politics"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="Garofalo"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="Olbermann"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="commentary"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="Janeane"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="news"/> <category scheme="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#kind" term="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#video"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="Keith"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="analysis"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="Party"/> <category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/keywords.cat" term="Tea"/> <title type="text"> Janeane Garofalo Calls Tea Party Protesters Racists </title> <content type="text"> Janeane Garofalo: http://tinyurl.com/cr6rt8 EPA: http://tinyurl.com/clpyqo Veterans: http://tinyurl.com/ckbhb6 DHS: http://tinyurl.com/cctf54 DHS2: http://tinyurl.com/dahaxr John Ziegler: http://tinyurl.com/d7qbo4 Teabagging: http://tinyurl.com/ddskjo </content> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwbZJw-C4Jk"/> <link rel="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#video.responses" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bwbZJw-C4Jk/responses"/> <link rel="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#video.related" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bwbZJw-C4Jk/related"/> <link rel="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007#mobile" type="text/html" href="http://m.youtube.com/details?v=bwbZJw-C4Jk"/> <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bwbZJw-C4Jk"/> <author> <name> HowTheWorldWorks </name> <uri> http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/howtheworldworks </uri> </author> <gd:comments> <gd:feedLink href="http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/bwbZJw-C4Jk/comments" countHint="2249"/> </gd:comments> <media:group> <media:category label="News & Politics" scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/categories.cat"> News </media:category> <media:content url="http://www.youtube.com/v/bwbZJw-C4Jk&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" medium="video" isDefault="true" expression="full" duration="236" yt:format="5"/> <media:content url="rtsp://rtsp2.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQmZ4IIPJ9kGbxMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp" type="video/3gpp" medium="video" expression="full" duration="236" yt:format="1"/> <media:content url="rtsp://rtsp2.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQmZ4IIPJ9kGbxMYESARFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp" type="video/3gpp" medium="video" expression="full" duration="236" yt:format="6"/> <media:description type="plain"> Janeane Garofalo: http://tinyurl.com/cr6rt8 </media:description> <media:keywords> Janeane, Garofalo, Keith, Olbermann, Tea, Party, commentary, analysis, news </media:keywords> <media:player url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bwbZJw-C4Jk"/> <media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bwbZJw-C4Jk/default.jpg" height="90" width="120" time="00:01:58"/> <media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bwbZJw-C4Jk/1.jpg" height="90" width="120" time="00:00:59"/> <media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bwbZJw-C4Jk/3.jpg" height="90" width="120" time="00:02:57"/> <media:thumbnail url="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/bwbZJw-C4Jk/0.jpg" height="240" width="320" time="00:01:58"/> <media:title type="plain"> Janeane Garofalo Calls Tea Party Protesters Racists </media:title> <yt:duration seconds="236"/> </media:group> <gd:rating average="3.9231105" max="5" min="1" numRaters="2289" rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#overall"/> <yt:statistics favoriteCount="304" viewCount="33463"/> </entry>;

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
