[flexcoders] Re: e4x XML Class: How to update a text node?

Thu, 25 May 2006 13:48:58 -0700

To replace the text of a node you can use replace();

var myXML:XML = <myRoot>blah</myRoot>;
trace("myXML:", myXML.toXMLString());

myXML.replace(0, "new node text");
trace("myXML:", myXML.toXMLString());

Output:

myXML: <myRoot>blah</myRoot>
myXML: <myRoot>new node text</myRoot>
