Method detail
Deserialize()method
public function Deserialize(xml:XML):*

Deserializes the object from xml. The format of the xml passed is custom, depending on the way the object was serialized with the Serialize method.

Parameters
xml:XML — The xml containing the serialized definition of the class.

Returns
* — The deserialized object. Usually 'this' should be returned, but in some cases it may be useful to return something else. The Enumerable class does this to force all values to be a member of the enumeration.

Serialize()method 
public function Serialize(xml:XML):void

Serializes the object to XML. This should not include the main tag defining the class itself.

Parameters
xml:XML — The xml object to which the serialization of this class should be added. This xml object is a single tag containing the main class definition, so only children of this class should be added to it.
