That should do it, but the reference requirement is tricky. It depends on what the OP is trying to do. There is not "a" text node for an element node, there can be many text nodes, and if you append a text node then it is new text node and not a changed text node.
If you had an element node with one text node, say "Text Node", then to append a text node you could probably do this: parentElement.text()[parentElement.text().length()] = "newTextNode"; //length would be the index of the new node Then, trace(parentElement.text(); //result: Text NodenewTextNode, because there is an implicit toString trace(parentElement.text()[0]; //result: Text Node trace(parentElement.text()[1]; //result: newTextNode Tracy ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel Freiman Sent: Friday, October 24, 2008 12:05 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Setting text on a text node in e4x does this do it? parentElement.text()[index] = "newText"; - Daniel Freiman On Fri, Oct 24, 2008 at 11:48 AM, Mark Carter <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: Hi - So, I know how to append a text node to an (parent) element, and how to replace a text node with a new text node (based on a specified string), but how do I set text on a text node? In my situation it is very important that the reference to the text node object is the same before and after this operation, so simply replacing the text node is not an option for me. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Setting-text-on-a-text-node-in-e4x-tp20152621p2015 2621.html <http://www.nabble.com/Setting-text-on-a-text-node-in-e4x-tp20152621p201 52621.html> Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
