ActionScript Language Reference

Example

The following code adds a custom secondChild() method to XMLNode.prototype (the

secondChild() method is subsequently available from any XML node in our movie):

XMLNode.prototype.secondChild = function () {

return this.childNodes[1];

};

myDoc = new XML("<PRODUCT>Cell Phone</PRODUCT><PRODUCT>Game Console</PRODUCT>");

trace(myDoc.secondChild()); // Displays: "<PRODUCT>Game Console</PRODUCT>"

It’s also perfectly legitimate to augment the XML class via XML.prototype, but such addi-

tions apply only to main container nodes (direct instances of the XML class).
