XML 723

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);

trace(doc);

// output (with line breaks added between tags):

// <element1>

// <element2>textNode1 String value</element2>

// <element3>textNode2 String value</element3>

// </element1>
