I do recommend this URL, with official API and explanation about how to assembling and transforming XML objects.

You have the prependChild() method or the appendChild() method to add a property to the beginning or end of an XML object’s list of properties. Also the insertChildBefore() method or the insertChildAfter() method to add a property before or after a specified property.

You can also use curly brace operators ( { and } ) to pass data by reference (from other variables) when constructing XML objects.

A quick solution (not telling you that is the best) for your answer:

  var xml:XML = <imglist><url>data</url><title>title</title></imglist>;

  var newXML:XML = <imglist><image>{xml.url}{xml.title}</image></imglist>
  trace(newXML);

Thank you.... But based on some conditions I have to add more then one image tag inside the image tag......I think there is no optimized code for this.....

using these methods prependChild, appendChild, insertChildBefore and insertChildAfter you can achieve what do you want.

Nodes can be created dynamically simply by referencing them. If you reference a node that doesn't exist it will be created for you like:

var xml:XML = <imglist><url>data</url><title>title</title></imglist>;
xml.image = "myimage";
//node image now exist
//you can also remove nodes this way:
delete xml.image;
