public previousSibling : XMLNode [read-only]
An XMLNode value that references the previous sibling in the parent node's child list. The
property has a value of null if the node does not have a previous sibling node. This property
cannot be used to manipulate child nodes; use the appendChild(), insertBefore(), and
removeNode() methods to manipulate child nodes.
Example
The following example is an excerpt from the example for the XML.lastChild property, and
shows how you can use the XML.previousSibling property to loop through an XML node's
child nodes:
for (var aNode:XMLNode = rootNode.lastChild; aNode != null; aNode =
aNode.previousSibling) {
trace(aNode);
}

var xml_str:String = "San Francisco";
var my_xml:XML = new XML(xml_str);
