var doc = new XML();
// Create an XML node using createElement().
var myNode = doc.createElement("rootNode");
// Place the new node into the XML tree.
doc.appendChild(myNode);
// Create an XML text node using createTextNode().
var myTextNode = doc.createTextNode("textNode");
// Place the new node into the XML tree.
myNode.appendChild(myTextNode);
trace(myNode.nodeName);
trace(myTextNode.nodeName);
/*
output:
rootNode
null
*/
