Working with XML
var x:XML =
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 2
var newNode:XML = Paragraph 1.5
x = x.insertChildAfter(x.p[0], newNode)
x = x.insertChildBefore(x.p[2], Paragraph 1.75)
As the following example shows, you can also use curly brace operators ( { and } ) to pass data by reference (from other
variables) when constructing XML objects:
var ids:Array = [121, 122, 123];
var names:Array = [["Murphy","Pat"], ["Thibaut","Jean"], ["Smith","Vijay"]]
var x:XML = new XML("");
for (var i:int = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
var newnode:XML = new XML();
newnode =
{names[i][0]}
{names[i][1]}
;
}
x = x.appendChild(newnode)
You can assign properties and attributes to an XML object by using the = operator, as in the following:
var x:XML =
Smith
x.firstname = "Jean";
x.@id = "239";
This sets the XML object x to the following:
Smith
Jean
You can use the + and += operators to concatenate XMLList objects:
var x1:XML = test1
var x2:XML = test2
var xList:XMLList = x1 + x2;
xList += test3
This sets the XMLList object xList to the following:
test1
test2
test3
