The following example creates and parses an XML packet. The code loops through each child

node, and displays the node value using the

firstChild property and

firstChild.nodeValue.

var my_xml = new XML("<login><username>morton</username>

<password>good&evil</password></login>");

trace("using firstChild:");

for (var i = 0; i<my_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {

trace("\t"+my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild);

}

trace("");

trace("using firstChild.nodeValue:");

for (var i = 0; i<my_xml.firstChild.childNodes.length; i++) {

trace("\t"+my_xml.firstChild.childNodes[i].firstChild.nodeValue);

}

The following information is written to the log file:

using firstChild:

morton

good&evil

using firstChild.nodeValue:

morton

good&evil
