Availability

Usage
my_xml .createTextNode( text )
Parameters

Description
Method; creates a new XML text node with the specified text. The new node initially has no
parent, and text nodes cannot have children or siblings. This method returns a reference to the
XML object representing the new text node. This method and

XML.docTypeDecl
Availability
Flash Player 5.
Usage
my_xml
.
XMLdocTypeDecl
Description
Property; specifies information about the XML document’s
DOCTYPE
declaration. After the XML
text has been parsed into an XML object, the
XML.docTypeDecl
property of the XML object is
set to the text of the XML document’s
DOCTYPE
declaration. For example,
<!DOCTYPE greeting
SYSTEM "hello.dtd">
. This property is set using a string representation of the
DOCTYPE
declaration, not an XML node object.
The ActionScript XML parser is not a validating parser. The
DOCTYPE
declaration is read by the
parser and stored in the
docTypeDecl
property, but no DTD validation is performed.
If no
DOCTYPE
declaration was encountered during a parse operation,
XML.docTypeDecl
is set to
undefined.
XML.toString()
outputs the contents of
XML.docTypeDecl
immediately after the
XML declaration stored in
XML.xmlDecl
, and before any other text in the XML object. If
XML.docTypeDecl
is undefined, no
DOCTYPE
declaration is output.
Example
The following example uses
XML.docTypeDecl
to set the
DOCTYPE
declaration for an XML object:
my_xml .docTypeDecl = "<!DOCTYPE greeting SYSTEM \"hello.dtd\">";
