If I have a named HTML element such as:  
\<div name=“myDiv”\>\</div\>

Is it possible to change the inner HTML and/or inner text of this tag only using ActionScript (i.e., I **don’t** want to use JavaScript _at all_)?

Basically, I want the same functionality as you can do with JavaScript’s innerHTML or innerText properties but without using JavaScript.
