Flex has an issue with hyphens in xml. I need to generate an xml object with hyphens in the attribute for a Google Checkout implementation.
I can get away with:
var xml:XML = <item-description/>;
and
var xml:XML = <item-description the-name="foo"/>;
but what I need to do is set the value of an attribute like this:
var timestamp:String = methodToGetMyTimestampString();
var xml:XML = <item-desc/>;
xml@start-date = timestamp;
but I can't do that. Since flex doesn't like the hyphens, I don't know how to get or set attributes with hyphens in the name.
