All you need to do is set the nodeValue rather than access it.
var trial_xml:XML = new XML("<navigation><category>This is a
category</category></navigation>");
trace(trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue = "This is a NEW
category";
trace(trial_xml.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue);
trace(trial_xml);
stop();
trace output:
This is a category
This is a NEW category
<navigation><category>This is a NEW category</category></navigation>
Hope that helps,
Andrew

Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Help with updating a nodeValue in an XML file
I have been through more manuals than I can list, have also been through the
complete www.lynda.com tutorial. All the examples create new nodes. I have
not seen any example that writes to an existing node.
