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.
package {
import flash.display.Sprite;
public class Gdata extends Sprite
{
private var xml:XML = <entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"
