Example

The following example shows how to display raw loaded XML source while preventing it

from being parsed by ActionScript:

myDoc = new XML();

myDoc.onData = function (src) {

trace("Here's the source: \n" + src);

};

myDoc.load("book.xml");

The following example intercepts and displays raw loaded XML source, but it also

performs onData()’s normal duties:

myDoc = new XML();

myDoc.onData = function (src) {

trace("Here's the source: \n" + src);

if (src = = undefined) {

this.onLoad(false);

} else {

this.parseXML(src);

this.loaded = true;

this.onLoad(true);

}

};

myDoc.onLoad = function (success) {

trace("Here's the parsed XML: " + this);

trace("Load succeeded? " + success);

};

myDoc.load("book.xml");
