How can I delete a node value retaining the attribute in XML in Flex -

i have xml like:

<root>  <item>   <item name="fruit">fruits</item>   <item name="vegetable">vegetables</item>  </item> </root> 

how delete node value alone ("fruits" "vegetables") retaining attribute values "fruit" "vegetable" in xml in flex.

i think should iterate through items.

if want delete values items, so:

            var i:int = 0;             each (var node:xml in xml.item.item)             {                 xml.item.item[i] = "";                 i++;             } 

you can specify condition:

            var i:int = 0;             each (var node:xml in xml.item.item)             {                 if (node.@name == 'fruit')                     xml.item.item[i] = "";                 i++;             }
