Jan,
Thanks, but I'm not having any luck. I'm trying to force my EXML class to
create all of it's nodes of class EXMLNode instead of XMLNode. That way, my
custom methods are accessible at any node in the tree. Unfortunately, it
seems that all of the nodes of the tree are type XMLnode, not EXMLNode.
What I can't figure out is what methods are used in the intrinsic XML class
to create nodes in the first place, and how to "rewire" them to create nodes
of class EXMLNode instead of XMLNode.
Maybe I'm biting off more than I can chew for my first AS2 project... I
don't know.
Any ideas are much appreciated.
Thanks!
