Example
A directory contains a SWF file and an XML file. The XML file, named "SoapSample.xml"
contains the following:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope">
<soap:Body xmlns:w="http://www.example.com/weather">
<w:GetTemperature>
<w:City>San Francisco</w:City>
</w:GetTemperature>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
The source for the SWF file contains the following script (note the comments for the Output
strings):
var xmlDoc:XML = new XML();
xmlDoc.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlDoc.load("SoapSample.xml");
xmlDoc.onLoad = function(success:Boolean)
{
var tempNode:XMLNode = xmlDoc.childNodes[0].childNodes[0].childNodes[0];
trace("w:GetTemperature prefix: " + tempNode.prefix); // Output: ... w
var soapEnvNode:XMLNode = xmlDoc.childNodes[0];
trace("soap:Envelope prefix: " + soapEnvNode.prefix); // Output: ... soap
}
