This is what I do.
<!-- Gets the site tree to be displayed -->
<mx:RemoteObject id="e4xService"
endpoint="http://apps.eyewonderlabs.com/flex2gateway/";
destination="ColdFusion"
source="robert.SiteSpecSystem.CFC.RecursiveSearchForTree"
result="SaveXMLData(event)"/>
<mx:XMLListCollection id="myXMLList" source="{myXML.node}"/>
Then in my Data Tree I do this..
<mx:Tree id="myTree"
folderClosedIcon="@Embed(source='images/icon_parent.png')"
folderOpenIcon="@Embed(source='images/icon_parent.png')"
defaultLeafIcon="@Embed(source='images/icon_child.png')"
x="10" y="26" width="100%" dataProvider="{myXMLList}" labelField="@label"
change="selectNode(event,'Tree')" height="443"/>
Notice the labelField. @label
My XML has a attribute called Label.
<Employee Label="john smith">
This displays the Label within my tree
If you need I can send you the file that I do this in and you can see how
it's done. I build my XML file dynamically via the DB. Then I use the XML
file as shown above.

Subject: [AFFUG Discuss] Using XML as a dataProvider
I am trying to use XML (e4x format) as a dataProvider.
1. I load the XML via an HTTPService call that is triggered by the
CreationComplete event that calls my init() method.
<mx:HTTPService id="filterData" url="ModelData/FilterData.xml"
result="xmlResult()" resultFormat="e4x" />
2. The XML data comes back. I can see it with the debugger in lastResult.
3. I'm trying to assign the filterData XML to an XMLListCollection like this:
<mx:XMLListCollection id="xc" source="{filterData.lastResult.filter.item }"/>
I know the dataGrid is supposed to automatically convert an XMLList to an
XMLListCollection, but since it's not working, I thought I could understand
it better by doing it manually.
The problem is that even though the XML data is there, the XMLListCollection
stays blank. What am I missing?
By the way, here's an example of my external XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<filter>
<item section="Mission">
<question>Do you like this color?</question>
<response>Y</response>
</item>
</filter>
Thanks for any ideas!
Clarke
