Remember also that panel is just a class. So, give it an id, like so:
<mx:Panel id="panel1" />
and then you can do:
panel1.title = myXML.day[0].name;
(but, you should also be able to bind via the example I sent earlier).

Actually, yeah, so doing this in a <mx:Script> tag:
panelTitle0 = myXML.day[0].name;
panelTitle1 = myXML.day[1].name;
panelTitle2 = myXML.day[2].name;
Just to get it from XML into my mxml component via
<mx:Panel title="{panelTitle1}" />
<mx:Panel title="{panelTitle2}" />
<mx:Panel title="{panelTitle3}" />
is going to get REAL old, REAL fast, and I'm sure is not the proper
"Flex" way to do it, so any better code is appreciated.

Yes you can :-)
But in this case, a warning (not an error) kept showing up that
changes to the
value that was bound to the title of the panel would
not be 'spotted'.
I think this means that in order to do some kind of dynamic binding,
a
data source
is required that emits (modelChanged?) events (or
something in that direction).
I just kind of worked around it by using a variable (panelTitle)
instead of some
node (name) nested inside an xml strucure.
I'm pretty sure there's a way to use {myXML.day[0].name} as the
title
value (and
not get any warnings), but I'm not that smart yet,
hehe..

Ah - cool, thanks. That worked. So I learned something I didn't
know
about mxml - which probably should have been obvious to me - I
cannot
use Actionscript 3 outside of a <mx:Script> tag - only public
variables
created by the actionscript within the tag. So you cannot use
actionscript objects like object.object.property in other mxml tags,
you
have to make them a single variable like your code below?
panelTitle = myXML.day[0].name;
<mx:Panel title="{panelTitle}" width="300" height="200"/>
Thanks for the help. I suppose then you cannot use dot syntax on
actionscript objects outside of a script tag. Only single
references
are allowed...
