Given the following xml:

Solution 1:

Well, I don't know if Flex has any build-in mechanism for dealing with such situation (I don't suppose it does) but I certainly can help you make your function more versatile

functionupdateXml(xml:XML, path:String, data:String):void {
    varnodesArray:Array = path.split(".");
    vartempXML:XML = xml;
    vartempXMLCandidate:XML;
    vartagName:String;
    for (vari:int = 0; i < nodesArray.length; i++){
        tagName = nodesArray[i];
        if (i == nodesArray.length - 1){
            tempXML[tagName] = data;
        }else{
            tempXMLCandidate = tempXML[tagName][0];
            if (!tempXMLCandidate){
                tempXMLCandidate = <{tagName}>;
                tempXML.appendChild(tempXMLCandidate);
            }
            tempXML = tempXMLCandidate;
        }
    }
}

I keep my fingers crossed however so someone would help you with some build-in solution, I'm curious about it myself.

Cheers.
