Assume that we have config properties for an object by xml or xmllist as below:

  
<attributes>
	<x>-10</x>
	<y>45</y>
	<scaleX>0.9</scaleX>
	<scaleY>0.9</scaleY>
</attributes>

Here is the function applies properties from xml to target object:

private function applyProperties(targetObject:Object, resourceObject:XMLList):void { if (!targetObject || !resourceObject) { return; } for each (var _property:XML in resourceObject.children()) { if (targetObject.hasOwnProperty(_property.name().localName)) { targetObject[_property.name().localName] = _property; } } }

This is a small testing program that written in AS3 to arranging menu item in circle way, and the item will move along the circle when user drag on the stage.
