How to get textnode by attribute. ActionScript 3.0

Question

I have this XML

<language lang = "ru">
    <ru>language/ru.xml</ru>
    <ua>language/uk.xml</ua>
    <en>language/en.xml</en>    
</language>

How I can get a text node that corresponds to an attribute? That is, if the attribute lang = "ru", then I get a text node language/ru.xml, if lang = "en" - language / en.xml

Suppose you have that XML string in a variable called xml, you would get it like this:

xml.(localName()==yourlanguage).text()

    var xml:XML = <language lang = "ru">
        <ru>language/ru.xml</ru>
        <ua>language/uk.xml</ua>
        <en>language/en.xml</en>
        </language>;

    var string:String = String(xml[xml.@lang]);
    trace(string);

Prints "language/ru.xml"

@john You mean attribute value ("ru")? That's `xml.@lang`. – Manish Mar 06 '12 at 19:24
