Hi all,

I have got problem with updating XML Tags. When some textframe is tagged and I would like to change content of this, I can simply do:

rootElement.xmlElements[0].contents = "new text";

and this is working as expected - immediatley after this text content is changed. But when I try to change image in image box associated with tag by:

rootElement.xmlElements[1].xmlAttributes[0].value= "path_to_image";

this is not working sirectly. Simply, "href" value is updated, but some internal links still direct to old image link. I have to do this:

var tmpFile = File(tmpPath + "docum.xml");
myDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.xml, tmpFile);
myDocument.importXML(tmpFile);

After exporting and importing XML content, links are updated and ecerything works fine. Can I simply update these links and do everything without exporting and importing back this xml content?
