Availability
Flash Media Server 2.
Usage
my_xml.cloneNode(deep)
Parameters
deep A Boolean value; if set to true, the children of the specified XML object will be
recursively cloned, otherwise
false.
Returns
An XMLNode object.
Description
Method; constructs and returns a new XMLNode object of the same type, name,
management console value, and attributes as the specified XML object. If
deep is set to true,
all child nodes are recursively cloned, resulting in an exact copy of the original object’s
document tree.
The clone of the node that is returned is no longer associated with the tree of the cloned item.
Consequently,
nextSibling, parentNode, and previousSibling have a value of null. If
the
deep parameter is set to false, or the my_xml node has no child nodes, firstChild and
lastChild are also null.
NOTE
In Flash Media Server, the output of trace() statements appears in the application log
file and Application inspector.
