Hi, this struggle will soon be over with E4X. For now you can do a few things I guess:
1. Use a class of someone else that transforms XML into an object. On Spark there was a speaker that wrote the open source project 'pixlib'. In this toolset there was a function called XML2Object If I'm correct. Looked nice to me. 2. Try finding other XML -> Object things 3. Write your own XML parser. Not to hard to do actually, just a lot of testwork :) Goodluck with it, Marco -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Namens Jeff Verzonden: donderdag 17 november 2005 18:26 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: [Flashcoders] XMLConnector to DataSets Question I'm building a Flash 8 application with a complicated data model. I'm importing data into the movie using an XMLConnector object and a schema like so: <authors> <author id="1" name="author 1"> <books> <book id="1" title="book 1" year="1999"> <chapters> <chapter id ="1" title="how to..." number="1" /> ...more chapters here </chapters> </book> ...more books here </books> </author> ...more authors here </authors> I need this data to be available for 3 seperate DataGrids that need arrays with rows having the following columns: Authors: ['id','name','book_count','chapter_count'] Books: ['id','title','year','chapter_count'] Chapters: ['author_id','author_name','book_id','book title','book_year','chapter_id','chapter_number','chapter_title'] For extra credit: The Authors and Books DataGrid will be used to filter the Chapters DataGrid. Eventually there will also need to be a text search function, and the 'book_count' and 'chapter_count' columns will need update to reflect the filtered amounts. I've been trying to work with components on the stage, the component inspector, and external .as classes to manipulate the data, but I've had no success so far. Does anyone have ideas to accomplish this type of data manipulation? Also, are their any good sites out there with examples of working with complex data sets like this?
