nextSibling (XMLNode.nextSibling property)
public nextSibling : XMLNode [read-only]
An XMLNode value that references the next sibling in the parent node's child list. This
property is
null if the node does not have a next sibling node. This property cannot be used
to manipulate child nodes; use the
appendChild(), insertBefore(), and removeNode()
methods to manipulate child nodes.

Example
The following example is an excerpt from the example for the XML.firstChild property, and
shows how you can use the
XML.nextSibling property to loop through an XML node's child
nodes:
for (var aNode:XMLNode = rootNode.firstChild; aNode != null; aNode =
aNode.nextSibling) {
trace(aNode);
}

nodeName (XMLNode.nodeName property)
public nodeName : String
A string representing the node name of the XML object. If the XML object is an XML
element (
nodeType == 1), nodeName is the name of the tag that represents the node in the
XML file. For example,
TITLE is the nodeName of an HTML TITLE tag. If the XML object is
a text node (
nodeType == 3), nodeName is null.
