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.
