I suspect this is the issue filterData.lastResult.filter.item
When working with XML like this, the root node is not needed in the reference. Thus it should be filterData.lastResult.item I've wasted a couple half-days on this one! I pasted a working copy below....hopefully it won't get eaten by the list....if so I attached it. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; creationComplete="initMe()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; [Bindable] private var leData:Object; private function initMe():void { filterData.send(); } private function xmlResult( event:ResultEvent):void { leData = event.result.item; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HTTPService id="filterData" url="data.xml" result="xmlResult( event )" resultFormat="e4x" /> <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{leData}"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Question" dataField="question"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Response" dataField="response"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> </mx:Application> On 4/26/07, Clarke Bishop <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
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!
