Re: [flexcoders] Re: Merge two XML documents

Hi Collin,

Is your data always a flat list of string values? or does it have  
'depth'? Because if so, you might need to change how you examine your  
data.

Cheers,
Lach

By merge I mean that this XML
<root>
  <node id=1>value1</node>
  <node id=2>value2</node>

and this XML:
<root>
  <node id=2>value2</node>
  <node id=3>value3</node>
</root>

would become this XML:
<root>
  <node id=1>value1</node>
  <node id=2>value2</node>
  <node id=3>value3</node>
</root>

I am current doing this which seems to work well.  I don't think  
there will be anything more efficient

for each ( var x:XML in _xml.key ) {
     if(!_mainXML.contains(x))
          _mainXML.appendChild(x);
}
