Usage
my_xml.cloneNode(deep:Boolean) : XMLNode
Parameters
A Boolean value; if set to
deep
recursively cloned.
Returns
An XMLNode object.
Description
Method; constructs and returns a new XML node of the same type, name, value, and attributes as
the specified XML object. If
an exact copy of the original object's document tree.
The clone of the node that is returned is no longer associated with the tree of the cloned item.

node:
// create a new XML document
var doc:XML = new XML();
// create a root node
var rootNode:XMLNode = doc.createElement("rootNode");
// create three child nodes
var oldest:XMLNode = doc.createElement("oldest");
var middle:XMLNode = doc.createElement("middle");
var youngest:XMLNode = doc.createElement("youngest");
// add the rootNode as the root of the XML document tree
doc.appendChild(rootNode);
// add each of the child nodes as children of rootNode
rootNode.appendChild(oldest);
rootNode.appendChild(middle);
rootNode.appendChild(youngest);
// create a copy of the middle node using cloneNode()
var middle2:XMLNode = middle.cloneNode(false);
