createTextNode (XML.createTextNode method)
public createTextNode(value:String) : XMLNode
Creates a new XML text node with the specified text. The new node initially has no parent,
and text nodes cannot have children or siblings. This method returns a reference to the XML
object that represents the new text node. This method and the
XML.createElement()
method are the constructor methods for creating nodes for an XML object.
Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 5
Parameters
value:String - A string; the text used to create the new text node.
Returns
XMLNode - An XMLNode object.
Example
The following example creates two XML text nodes using the
createTextNode() method,
and places them into existing XML nodes:
// create an XML document
var doc:XML = new XML();
// create three XML nodes using createElement()
var element1:XMLNode = doc.createElement("element1");
var element2:XMLNode = doc.createElement("element2");
var element3:XMLNode = doc.createElement("element3");
// place the new nodes into the XML tree
doc.appendChild(element1);
element1.appendChild(element2);
element1.appendChild(element3);
// create two XML text nodes using createTextNode()
var textNode1:XMLNode = doc.createTextNode("textNode1 String value");
var textNode2:XMLNode = doc.createTextNode("textNode2 String value");
// place the new nodes into the XML tree
element2.appendChild(textNode1);
element3.appendChild(textNode2);
