An understanding of XML is essential when working with both Flash and Flex. ActionScript 3.0 introduces a number of changes to the way XML works in both applications. This book provides Flash and Flex developers with a coverage of XML and E4X from the ground up.

  • Including XML content in Flash and Flex applications
  • Modifying and updating XML content using Flash and Flex

In this book you'll:

  • Understand XML and E4X
  • Understand the new XML and XMLList classes in ActionScript 3.0
  • Learn to load XML content into Flash and Flex applications
  • Understand how to create E4X expressions to target XML content
  • Learn how to modify and update XML content with Flash and Flex
