Flash Lite 2.x and 3.0 ActionScript Language Reference

xmlDecl (XML.xmlDecl property)

public xmlDecl : String

A string that specifies information about a document's XML declaration. After the XML document is parsed into an XML object, this property is set to the text of the document's XML declaration. This property is set using a string representation of the XML declaration, not an XML node object. If no XML declaration is encountered during a parse operation, the property is set to undefined.XML. The XML.toString() method outputs the contents of the XML.xmlDecl property before any other text in the XML object. If the XML.xmlDecl property contains the undefined type, no XML declaration is output.

Example

The following example creates a text field called my_txt that has the same dimensions as the Stage. The text field displays properties of the XML packet that loads into the SWF file. The doc type declaration displays in my_txt. Add the following ActionScript to your FLA or AS file:

var my_fmt:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
my_fmt.font = "_typewriter";
my_fmt.size = 12;
my_fmt.leftMargin = 10;

this.createTextField("my_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, Stage.width, Stage.height);
my_txt.border = true;
my_txt.multiline = true;
my_txt.wordWrap = true;
my_txt.setNewTextFormat(my_fmt);

var my_xml:XML = new XML();
my_xml.ignoreWhite = true;
my_xml.onLoad = function(success:Boolean) {
 var endTime:Number = getTimer();
 var elapsedTime:Number = endTime-startTime;
 if (success) {
 my_txt.text = "xmlDecl:"+newline+my_xml.xmlDecl+newline+newline;
 my_txt.text += "contentType:"+newline+my_xml.contentType+newline+newline;
 my_txt.text += "docTypeDecl:"+newline+my_xml.docTypeDecl+newline+newline;
 my_txt.text += "packet:"+newline+my_xml.toString()+newline+newline;
 } else {
 my_txt.text = "Unable to load remote XML."+newline+newline;
 }
 my_txt.text += "loaded in: "+elapsedTime+" ms.";
};
my_xml.load("http://www.helpexamples.com/crossdomain.xml");
var startTime:Number = getTimer();
