Problem extracting data from XML

Question

The XML file format is:
<xml>
<condesa>
<lote>
<loteid>H50601</loteid>
<nombre>Servicios</nombre>
<categoria>Escuela</categoria>
<subcategoria>Arabe</subcategoria>
<telefono> 55532255</telefono>
<direccion> Juan pedro 23</direccion>
<image>roble.jpg</image>
</lote>
</condesa>
</xml>
I have an xml file that I am reading from. I am them taking
the data and putting it into an XML object named condechiXML.
var condechiXML:XML = new XML();
var XML_URL:String = "condechi.xml";
var condechiXMLURL:URLRequest = new URLRequest(XML_URL);
var condechiLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(condechiXMLURL);
once loaded:
condechiXML = XML(condechiLoader.data);
condechiTotal = condechiXML.condesa.lote.length();
What I want to do is run a for loop for every branch in my
xml tree where I access a property in each branch. I have the for
loop working using the length attribute for xml but when i want to
use:
for (var i:uint=1; i<=condechiTotal; i++) {
trace(condechiXML.condesa["lote["+i+"]"].loteid);
my trace returns blank lines.
How can I make this work?
Thanks for the help.

I am not sure I understand. Doesn't loop do what you need to
- using i in the expression to point to the XML branch?
If it relates to your question, your original syntax
["lote["+i+"]"] is attempting to use String notation and not
integer. XML lists are not Objects but Arrays. Say, if i = 1, you
will get ["lote["1"]"] - it doesn't exist in your xml, what does
exist is lote[1]. See the difference?
