attributes (XMLNode.attributes property)
public attributes : Object
An object containing all of the attributes of the specified XML instance. The XML.attributes
object contains one variable for each attribute of the XML instance. Because these variables
are defined as part of the object, they are generally referred to as properties of the object. The
value of each attribute is stored in the corresponding property as a string. For example, if you
have an attribute named color, you would retrieve that attribute's value by specifying color as
the property name, as the following code shows:
var myColor:String = doc.firstChild.attributes.color
Example
The following example shows the XML attribute names:
// create a tag called 'mytag' with
// an attribute called 'name' with value 'Val'
var doc:XML = new XML(" item ");
// assign the value of the 'name' attribute to variable y
var y:String = doc.firstChild.attributes.name;
trace (y); // output: Val
