Method Detail

createXMLDocument | () | method

`public static function createXMLDocument(str:String):XMLDocument`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Creates XML out of the specified string, ignoring whitespace. This method is used to create objects defined in `<mx:XML>` tags and WebService requests, although they, in turn, get the `firstChild` of the structure.

Parameters

| `str:String` — XML string.

Returns

| `XMLDocument` — New XML object that ignored whitespace.

getAttributeByQName | () | method |

`public static function getAttributeByQName(xml:XML, attrQName:QName):XMLList`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns the XML value of an attribute matching the given QName

Parameters

| `xml:XML` — the XML object being inspected
| `attrQName:QName` — the QName of the attribute to find

Returns

| `XMLList` — XMLList of matching attributes or an empty list if none are found.

qnamesEqual | () | method |

`public static function qnamesEqual(qname1:QName, qname2:QName):Boolean`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns `true` if the two QName parameters have identical `uri` and `localName` properties.

Parameters

| `qname1:QName` — First QName object.
| `qname2:QName` — Second QName object.

Returns

| `Boolean` — `true` if the two QName parameters have identical `uri` and `localName` properties.

qnameToString | () | method |

`public static function qnameToString(qname:QName):String`

Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0

Product Version : | Flex 3

Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Returns the concatenation of a Qname object's `uri` and `localName` properties, separated by a colon. If the object does not have a `uri` property, or the value of `uri` is the empty string, returns the `localName` property.

Parameters

| `qname:QName` — QName object.

Returns

| `String` — Concatenation of a Qname object's `uri` and `localName` properties, separated by a colon.
