appendChild VS insertChildBefore - XML Methods
Hi,
I just came across an issue regarding appendChild method to append a xml. I am sure everyone must be familiar with this method.
At some point while debugging my code, I found that it's not appending child i.e. after executing my code in which I have written,
var xml:XML = <Data></Data>;
xml.appendChild(<ChildData></ ChildData>);
After executing these lines of code, I found that my xml have no ChildData tag. Then I have to use insertChildBefore method as an alternate i.e.
xml.insertChildBefore(null, <ChildData></ ChildData>);
It worked for me. But I want to know the exact reason behind this unknown behaviour of appendChild method. It's not happening everything. Somewhere it works and somewhere it doesn't.
May be it's a compiler issue or something else.

Hi,
I am also using same sdk which you are using. As I told earlier, this doesn't happens every time. I got very few instances(1 or 2%) which I came across with such issues.

Which Flex SDK are you using? Can you provide a sample application?
I tried in 4.1.0 and 4.6.0 and it's working with a very simple test case:
private function onCreationComplete():void {
var xml:XML = <Data></Data>;
xml.appendChild(<ChildData></ ChildData>);
trace(xml);
}
//... in console
<Data>
<ChildData/>
</Data>
