How to get ![CDATA from xml

[flexmee]

Do anyone now how to get CDATA from xml in as3?

example:
- <Data>
- <![CDATA[ 84,98 kB]]>
</Data>

[peteranselmo]

package
{
	
	public class Test {
		
	public function Test() 
	{
		trace('tracing xml');
		var _xmlData:XML = new XML('<Data><![CDATA[84,98 kB]]></Data>');
		trace(_xmlData);
	}
		
	}
}

for the most part the CDATA is ignored so you don't need anything special to read the content

or if its nested..

package
{
	
	public class Test {
		
	public function Test() 
	{
		trace('tracing xml');
		var _xmlData:XML = new XML('<Data><node><![CDATA[84,98 kB]]></node></Data>');
		trace(_xmlData.node);
	}
		
	}
}

sorry for the mutli post reply but thanks to e4x you can even do something like

package
{
	
	public class Test {
		
	public function Test() 
	{
		trace('tracing xml');
		var _xmlData:XML = new XML('<Data><node><innernode><innerinnernode><![CDATA[84,98 kB]]></innerinnernode></innernode></node></Data>');
		trace(_xmlData..innerinnernode);
	}
		
	}
}
