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;

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);
