Sorry, didn't know that. :) I assumed it took an XML string. My bad.

If you're not going to use XPath or your own custom parser to handle the XML, you might as well not turn off decoding, and instead just use the ActionScript objects returned by the WebService call. If you DO want to use XPath, do what you described, but there should be no need to load the response into an XML object (step 3). Make sense? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Lee Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 2:15 PM To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] .NET and XML Web services That sounds about right to me! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Merrill, Jason Sent: Thursday, May 18, 2006 2:02 PM To: Flashcoders mailing list Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] .NET and XML Web services Thanks Dave! Thanks Tom! I'm learning a lot here. So the million dollar question for me is: What is the best way, building for Flash player 7, for me to get an XML message (which contains the entire XML doc - but a true message/variable whatever, not the literal physical XML file) into an XML object in Flash (so I can use xfactorstudios XPATH classes to traverse it)? My coworker is going to be using some .NET development techniques to create a webservice for me which draws data from a SQLServer database. So far, it seems like this approach is recommended: 1. Use the Webservices Classes to connect to a WSDL via http. 2. Call a SOAP method in the WSDL that returns an XML message (turn off decoding on the SOAP call to get the pure XML). 3. Load the XML message into a Flash XML object. 4. Do what I want with the Flash XML object at that point.
