Loop through all the child nodes of your node and concatenate the value of the text nodes... var nodeValue:String = ""; for (var i:Number = 0; i < node.childNodes.length; i++) { var child:XMLNode = XMLNode(node.childNodes[i]); if (child.nodeType == 3) { nodeValue += child.nodeValue; } } trace(nodeValue); If your question is how to get the equivalent of innerHTML then change... if (child.nodeType == 3) { nodeValue += child.nodeValue; } ...to... nodeValue += child.toString(); Hope this helps!
