package{
  import flash.display.Sprite;
  
  public class Main extends Sprite{
    public function Main(){
        var fruit:XML = <fruit>
                            <name>Apple</name>
                            An apple a day...
                          </fruit>;
        
        var value:String = fruit.toString(  ); 
        
        trace( value );
    }
  }
}
