The XMLNode constructor lets you instantiate an XML node based on a string specifying its contents and on a number representing its node type.

value:String - For a text node, this is the text of the node; for an element node, this is the contents of the tag.

Example

var ELEMENT_NODE:Number = 1;
var node1:XMLNode = new XMLNode(ELEMENT_NODE, "fullName");
    
var TEXT_NODE:Number = 3;
var node2:XMLNode = new XMLNode(TEXT_NODE, "Justin Case");

// Create a new XML document
var doc:XML = new XML();
        
// Create a root node
var rootNode:XMLNode = doc.createElement("root");
        
// Add the rootNode as the root of the XML document tree
doc.appendChild(rootNode);
        
// Build the rest of the document:
rootNode.appendChild(node1);
node1.appendChild(node2);

trace(doc);

// Output: Justin Case
