E4X maximum value

Hi

I dont know how i can get the maximum or minimum value from an XML like this:

%26lt;node%26gt;

?%26lt;subnode%26gt;

?%26lt;name%26gt;Jack%26lt;/name%26gt;

?%26lt;age%26gt;21%26lt;/age%26gt;

?%26lt;/subnode%26gt;

%26lt;/node%26gt;

%26lt;node%26gt;

?%26lt;subnode%26gt;

?%26lt;name%26gt;Maria%26lt;/name%26gt;

?%26lt;age%26gt;55%26lt;/age%26gt;

?%26lt;/subnode%26gt;

?%26lt;subnode%26gt;

?%26lt;name%26gt;John%26lt;/name%26gt;

?%26lt;age%26gt;37%26lt;/age%26gt;

?%26lt;/subnode%26gt;

%26lt;/node%26gt;

I need to get maximum age attribute value using E4X syntax (in this case 55).

Is that possible? Have you some ideas to solve my problem?

Thanks

I don't know if you can do it purely with e4x, but this works:

%26lt;?xml version=''1.0'' encoding=''utf-8''?%26gt;
%26lt;mx:Application xmlns:mx=''http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml''%26gt;
?%26lt;mx:XML id=''myData''%26gt;
?%26lt;data%26gt;
?%26lt;node%26gt;
?%26lt;subnode%26gt;
?%26lt;name%26gt;Jack%26lt;/name%26gt;
?%26lt;age%26gt;21%26lt;/age%26gt;
?%26lt;/subnode%26gt;
?%26lt;/node%26gt;
?%26lt;node%26gt;
?%26lt;subnode%26gt;
?%26lt;name%26gt;Maria%26lt;/name%26gt;
?%26lt;age%26gt;55%26lt;/age%26gt;
?%26lt;/subnode%26gt;
?%26lt;subnode%26gt;
?%26lt;name%26gt;John%26lt;/name%26gt;
?%26lt;age%26gt;37%26lt;/age%26gt;
?%26lt;/subnode%26gt;
?%26lt;/node%26gt;
?%26lt;/data%26gt;
?%26lt;/mx:XML%26gt;
?%26lt;mx:Script%26gt;
?%26lt;![CDATA[
?import mx.utils.ArrayUtil;
?
?private function getMax(xl:XMLList):uint{
?var maxVal:uint = 0;
?for each(var val:uint in xl){
?maxVal = Math.max(maxVal, val);
?}
?return maxVal;
?}
?]]%26gt;
?%26lt;/mx:Script%26gt;
?%26lt;mx:Text text=''{getMax(myData..age)}''/%26gt;
%26lt;/mx:Application%26gt;
