Как отличить, когда строка переданая конструктору XML является ElementNode, а когда T

Ну, желательно, чтобы самому не парсить =)
Кстати, не уверен, но по-моему раньше так не было...
Вот тест:
(почему во втором случае hasChildNodes() == true, nodeType == 1 для меня загадка)

var xml:XML = new XML('<Slide />');
trace(xml.hasChildNodes());
trace(xml.nodeType);
trace(xml.childNodes[0]);
for(var i:String in xml)
{
	trace(i+" => "+xml[i]);
}
trace("-----------");
xml = new XML('foo');
trace(xml.hasChildNodes());
trace(xml.nodeType);
trace(xml.childNodes[0]);
for(i in xml)
{
	trace(i+" => "+xml[i]);
}

Output:

var xml:XML = new XML('foo');
trace(xml.firstChild);
trace(xml.firstChild.hasChildNodes());
trace(xml.firstChild.nodeType);

во млин... странно... спасибо =)

[etc]

Гы:

function testTextNode(xml) {
	return xml.firstChild.nodeValue != xml.nodeName;
}
trace(testTextNode(new XML('<Slide />')));
trace(testTextNode(new XML('foo')));
