Use json or eden ... you can use it in XML to with a deserialization of the
nodes ;)
x = new XML("<xml><item>{ prop1:"item1", prop2:"item2" }</item></xml>") ;
you can use JSON.deserialize( x.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue )
; // it's an example not tested !
EKA+ :)

julien:
sure here's a sample:
class com.mysite.model.Settings {
private static var instance = null;
public var custom_color_3:String;
public var background_image:Boolean;
public var background_type:String;
public var background_alpha:Number;
public var title_mode:String;
//rest of class....
}
Here is the function where I parse the xml into the properties above,
pretty
simple:
function parseSettings(){
var settingsBranch = app_xml.firstChild.firstChild;
var c = settingsBranch.childNodes;
var num = settingsBranch.childNodes.length;
var nextBranch:XMLNode = settingsBranch.childNodes[0];
while(nextBranch){
var tagName = nextBranch.nodeName;
settings[tagName] = nextBranch.firstChild.nodeValue;
nextBranch = nextBranch.nextSibling;
}
}
and here is what the xml looks like:
<settings>
<custom_color_3>#FFFFFF</custom_color_3>
<background_image>1</background_image>
<background_type>jpg</background_type>
<background_alpha>100</background_alpha>
<title_mode>PROFILE</title_mode>
</settings>
eka: - yeah, i know xml is only a string..my problem is that i am
assigning
a string to properties that are clearly typed as something other than a
string, yet flash isnt complaining.
