Example
The following example shows how the namespaceURI property is affected by the use of
prefixes. A directory contains a SWF file and an XML file. The XML file, named
SoapSample.xml contains the following tags.
San Francisco
The source for the SWF file contains the following script (note the comments for the Output
strings). For tempNode, which represents the w:GetTemperature node, the value of
namespaceURI is defined in the soap:Body tag. For soapBodyNode, which represents the
soap:Body node, the value of namespaceURI is determined by the definition of the soap
prefix in the node above it, rather than the definition of the w prefix that the soap:Body node
contains.
var xmlDoc:XML = new XML();
xmlDoc.load("SoapSample.xml");
xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlDoc.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
{
var tempNode:XMLNode = xmlDoc.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
trace("w:GetTemperature namespaceURI: " + tempNode.namespaceURI);
// Output: ... http://www.example.com/weather
}
trace("w:GetTemperature soap namespace: " +
tempNode.getNamespaceForPrefix("soap"));
// Output: ... http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope
var soapBodyNode:XMLNode = xmlDoc.childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
trace("soap:Envelope namespaceURI: " + soapBodyNode.namespaceURI);
// Output: ... http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope
The following example uses XML tags without prefixes. It uses a SWF file and an XML file
located in the same directory. The XML file, named NoPrefix.xml contains the following
tags.
