How can we add attributes dynamically to any XML nodes?  
I tried doing following  
[AS]

// create an XML document  
var doc:XML = new XML();  
var element1:XMLNode = doc.createElement(“element1”);  
element1.attributes.push(“abc”);  
trace(doc);  
// output:  
\<element1\>\<element2 /\>\<element3 /\>\</element1\>  
[/AS]

Is attributes read-only property?  
But it does not work.
