title: how do I find the number of xml children in AS3
body: <p>so live docs says this for calling .lenght() on an XML object</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>For XML objects, this method always
    returns the integer 1. The length()
    method of the XMLList class returns a
    value of 1 for an XMLList object that
    contains only one value.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>i called it on an xml that looked like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;xml&gt;
  &lt;picture&gt;1&lt;/picture&gt;
  &lt;picture&gt;2&lt;/picture&gt;
  &lt;/xml&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>i tried myXML.lenght() and it reallt returned 1. how do i get the number of children in my xml?</p>
