Data binding in pure AS3

[flashmed]

In MXML Flex, you can use {} to bind data. In AS3, how do you bind data?

For example, I have a text input box and when I click the Submit button, it writes the text of the the input box into a child node in an XML file.

So, no one knows this stuff?

I believe binding like that is a flex feature, not an AS3 feature. It generates AS3 code in the background. The AS3 would look something like this:

submitButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, doSubmit);
private function doSubmit(e:MouseEvent):void{
  var text:String = textbox.text;
  someXML += XML("<someNode>"+text+"</someNode>");
}
