Method detail
createXMLDocument()method
public static function createXMLDocument(str:String):XMLDocument

Returns
XMLDocument — New XML object that ignored whitespace.
qnamesEqual()method 
public static function qnamesEqual(qname1:QName, qname2:QName):Boolean

Returns true if the two QName parameters have identical uri and localName properties.

Parameters
qname1:QName — First QName object.
 
qname2:QName — Second QName object.

Returns
Boolean — true if the two QName parameters have identical uri and localName properties.
qnameToString()method 
public static function qnameToString(qname:QName):String

Returns the concatenation of a Qname object's uri and localName properties, separated by a colon. If the object does not have a uri property, or the value of uri is the empty string, returns the localName property.

Parameters
qname:QName — QName object.

Returns
String — Concatenation of a Qname object's uri and localName properties, separated by a colon.
