In Flash Player, the XML class only supports node types 1 (ELEMENT_NODE) and 3
(TEXT_NODE).
value:String - For a text node, this is the text of the node; for an element node, this is the
contents of the tag.
Example
var ELEMENT_NODE:Number = 1;
var node1:XMLNode = new XMLNode(ELEMENT_NODE, "fullName");
var TEXT_NODE:Number = 3;
var node2:XMLNode = new XMLNode(TEXT_NODE, "Justin Case");
// Create a new XML document
var doc:XML = new XML();
// Create a root node
var rootNode:XMLNode = doc.createElement("root");
// Add the rootNode as the root of the XML document tree
doc.appendChild(rootNode);
// Build the rest of the document:
rootNode.appendChild(node1);
node1.appendChild(node2);
trace(doc);
// Output: Justin Case
