XML class 199
The following example creates a new XML packet. If the root node has child nodes, the code
loops over each child node to display the name and value of the node. Add the following
ActionScript to your ASC file:
var my_xml = new XML("<login><username>hank</username>
<password>rudolph</password></login>");
if (my_xml.firstChild.hasChildNodes()) {
// Use firstChild to iterate through the child nodes of rootNode.
for (var aNode = my_xml.firstChild.firstChild; aNode != null;
aNode=aNode.nextSibling) {
if (aNode.nodeType == 1) {
trace(aNode.nodeName+":\t"+aNode.firstChild.nodeValue);
}
}
}
The following node names appear:
username:hank
password:rudolph
