flash.xml package 343
flash.utils package
This package provides various utility classes, such as ByteArray, which lets you access and
work with data on the byte level, and the Timer class, which lets you run code on a specified
time sequence. This package also contains a number of package-level functions that can
control the time delay or intervals in which ActionScript code is executed. For more
information, see the flash.utils package in the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference.
flash.xml package
The flash.xml package provides legacy XML support. Because of the introduction of the top-
level E4X-compliant XML class, the legacy XML-related classes that are compatible with
ActionScript 1.0 and 2.0 XML objects are in the flash.xml package. For more information, see
“Working with XML” on page 311 and the XML and XMLList packages in the ActionScript
3.0 Language Reference.
