Is there a way to store XML.appendChild function in a variable?

Question

I want to use something like that:

var addFunction:Function = needParentNode ? parentNode.appendChild: resultArray.push;

for each(var element:* in elements){
    addFunction(element);
}

But parentNode is XML, so parentNode.appendChild returns an XMLList because of E4X syntax. parentNode['appendChild'] is the same. I know that i can get a wrapper with

function(item:*){parentNode.appendChild(item)}

But is there a way way to get this function without such complications?

Answer 1

Try this,

parentNode.AS3::appendChild

Specifying namespace might help.
