Question

Is there a easy way to do this? Or do I have to parse the file and do some search/replacing on my own?

The ideal would be something like:

var myXML: XML = ???; // ... load xml data into the XML object  myXML.someAttribute = newValue;  

Answer 1

Attributes are accessible in AS3 using the @ prefix.

For example:

var myXML:XML = <test name='something'></test>; trace(myXML.@name); myXML.@name = 'new'; trace(myXML.@name); 

Output:

something new
