Example

The following example shows how to use the XML.childNodes property to return an array of

child nodes:

// create a new XML document

var doc:XML = new XML();

// create a root node

var rootNode:XMLNode = doc.createElement("rootNode");

// create three child nodes

var oldest:XMLNode = doc.createElement("oldest");

var middle:XMLNode = doc.createElement("middle");

var youngest:XMLNode = doc.createElement("youngest");

// add the rootNode as the root of the XML document tree

doc.appendChild(rootNode);

// add each of the child nodes as children of rootNode

rootNode.appendChild(oldest);

rootNode.appendChild(middle);

rootNode.appendChild(youngest);

// create an array and use rootNode to populate it

var firstArray:Array = doc.childNodes;

trace (firstArray);

// output: <rootNode><oldest /><middle /><youngest /></rootNode>

// create another array and use the child nodes to populate it

var secondArray:Array = rootNode.childNodes;

trace(secondArray);

// output: <oldest />,<middle />,<youngest />
