Use braces... see if this works:
<mx:Panel title="{data.day[0].name}">

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Help with Flexbuilder 2 and XML loading
Mike, thanks. So right, I know about the new specs for accesing XML,
sorry I wasn't clear, what I meant was, how do I access the node value
WITHIN the mxml?
So if my XML file is:
<data>
<day>
<name>Monday</name> //(repeating node)
etc.
And I have first loaded it in using the script you sent, then I would
expect I would access it like this:
data.day[0].name
But if I do:
<mx:Panel title=data.day[0].name>
I get a compiler error saying that quotes are expected for the title
attribute.
So if I put in the quotes:
<mx:Panel title="data.day[0].name">
Then it doesn't evaluate, it treats it as a string and appears literally
in the .swf as data.day[0].name
I can't seem to find any examples in the docs bridging the loading XML
and then using it in mxml - there seem to be examples of the new syntax
to traverse the tree, and also examples of loading XML, but nothing
combining the two and referring to the node in mxml. At least, I
couldn't find any.
Thanks for any help or examples.
