var myTextNode:XMLNode = doc.createTextNode("textNode");
// place the new node into the XML tree
myNode.appendChild(myTextNode);
trace(myNode.nodeName);
trace(myTextNode.nodeName);
// output:
// rootNode
// null
The following example creates a new XML packet. If the root node has child nodes, the code
loops over each child node to display the name and value of the node. Add the following
ActionScript to your FLA or AS file:
var my_xml:XML = new XML("hankrudolph");
if (my_xml.firstChild.hasChildNodes()) {
// use firstChild to iterate through the child nodes of rootNode
for (var aNode:XMLNode = my_xml.firstChild.firstChild; aNode != null;
aNode=aNode.nextSibling) {
if (aNode.nodeType == 1) {
trace(aNode.nodeName+":\t"+aNode.firstChild.nodeValue);
}
}
}
The following node names are displayed in the Output panel:
output:
username: hank
password: rudolph
