class XMLTag in Asset 6

XML Tag Object (php4)

This object stores all of the direct children of itself in the $children array. They are also stored by type as arrays. So, if, for example, this tag had 2 <font> tags as children, there would be a class member called $font created as an array. $font[0] would be the first font tag, and $font[1] would be the second.

To loop through all of the direct children of this object, the $children member should be used.

To loop through all of the direct children of a specific tag for this object, it is probably easier to use the arrays of the specific tag names, as explained above.
