Hi all,
I've been having a bit of trouble deleting XML objects with ExtendScript's native delete() function. Basically I have an XML object being passed into a function like this:
makeChanges(XMLObj, XMLObj.child1);
makeChanges(XMLObj, XMLObj.child2);
makeChanges(XMLObj, XMLObj.child3);
function makeChanges(object, element)
{
if (condition) delete element;
}
However, the child element is not deleted, I suspect because the "element" variable reference is still active. If the code is changed to explicitly delete the object like so:
if (condition) delete object.child1
then everything works just fine, but I make quite a few calls to this function and would like the code to be re-usable if possible. I know JavaScript has a removeChild() function for XML, but does anyone know if there's an ExtendScript workaround? I've looked through the documentation and haven't seen much, so any input is greatly appreciated.
