No - see I didn't think Michael wanted to get the CDATA of ALL of the nodes at 
once.  He referred to a specific node in his code: " kids[0]."   So therefore, 
why wouldn't this be a better solution?

var  myXML:XML = <xml>
                        <myNode>
                                <![CDATA[Hello World.]]>
                        </myNode>
                </xml>;
                                
trace(myXML.myNode.text()); //traces "Hello World."

The method he posted as his solution seems an unnecessary way around - like 
going out the front door of a house, walking around to the back and then  going 
in the back door just to get to the kitchen.

The text method returns an XMLList just like the children method. It just is 
limited to the text nodes.
