Hi Vinod, Thanks for the reply. Can you please elaborate on "SWF files cannot load any local files or resources. You need to put the XML file inside your application. ".The reason why i ask this is because i have tried this example where he references an external XML file and it works perfectly fine:
http://flexpearls.blogspot.com/2008/01/using-advanceddatagrid-as-tree-control.html Here the XML file is not a local resource.He has used the HTTPService tag to access an external xml file. Could you please guide me on the above issue as i am new to Flex? I am using FlexBuilder for Eclipse for the above task. Thanks, Shishir. On Dec 3, 5:46 pm, "Vinod M.
