Think of it as in Flash: XML --> XML Class <mx:XML> --> XMLConnector
In Flash, when using an XML instance to load an xml file, there's no event model, so changes to the data will not be noticed and you'll have to write your own actionscript to cover that. With the XMLConnector, you can set up bindings and changes to the data will dispatch a modelChanged event. I'm guessing that's what's going on in Fex as well. regards, Muzak ----- Original Message ----- From: "Merrill, Jason" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2005 11:57 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Help with Flexbuilder 2 and XML loading So what's the difference between using actionscript 3 for all this, and just using this Flex mxml tag: <mx:XML id="myXML" source="data.xml"/> ?
