Sometimes in flash you need to get an XMLList from tags while ignoring tag case.

<xml>
<tagName>contents</tagName>
<TAGNAME>contents</TAGNAME>
</xml>

I have a class that extracts XHTML from the page where a swf is embeded. Works great except different browsers return different case for tags. Below is the snippet I used to get a node list no matter the tag case. The example is getting all “span” tags.

var nodeList:XMLList = data..*.(new RegExp('span',"i")["test"](name()));
