Simple. Create a base mxml component for the data that you are retrieving from the HTTPService. Example: If your data contains a url to an image and a title for the image, then the base component should have a label control and an image control.
There are two ways you can add items to the coverflow list. One way is using a Repeater control. You can find more about a repeater here http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=repeater_3.html Just place the repeater inside the <CoverflowContainer></CoverflowContainer> tags and set the data correctly. Another way to add items to the coverflow is through looping. (1) Retrieve data. (2) Setup a for loop and loop through the data (3) For every data item, create and instantiate the base component and add it to the coverflow container using the addChild method. Personally i prefer the second method. Good luck! -- Jeethu Karthik J http://jeethukarthik.com Bob Dole - "The internet is a great way to get on the net."
