Precia taught me a new trick that solved my problem: This does not work: <mx:XMLListCollection id="xc" source="{filterData.lastResult.filter.item }"/> But, this does: <mx:XMLListCollection id="xc" source="{filterData.lastResult...item }"/> This would seem to access the same data. But apparently, AS3 does not like for you to reference the root node. So, the second syntax works, but the first one doesn't! I thought you all might like to know in case you run into this.

I build my XML file dynamically via the DB. Then I use the XML file as shown above. ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Clarke Bishop Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2007 1:20 PM To: [email protected] 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!
