Isaac, If you don't mind, post your code and I am sure that we can help figure out the problem.
In the mean time, have you tried using HTTPService for your needs?

It depends on the user selection(obviuosly at runtime). Just I want to load the specified XML at runtime. Avoid to load all the possible XML�s in the startup.

Does that answer your question?

As the XML name is dynamic, I need to create the Model at runtime. In other words, I know the XML name in the moment the .mxml page is built , I cannot declare the Model as you suggest. me. Any thoughts?

It works at compile time... However, you can use HTTPService object to load xml dynamically at runtime. Please search the flexcoders archive, this question has been discussed recently.. Also check out Flex documentation for HTTPService. I answered something similar last month, following is the code. Might help you.. ##app.mxml## <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; creationComplete="setOptions()"> <mx:Model id="optionsXMLModel" source="options.xml"/> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.utils.ArrayUtil; var optionsDP; function setOptions() { /* List controls like, List, ComboBox, etc can't use XML object as their model(dataProvider)... So we are using ArrayUtil.toUtil(..) utility function to covert a XML object to an Array of Objects. */ optionsDP = ArrayUtil.toArray(optionsXMLModel.option); _cb2.dataProvider = optionsDP; } function onComboChange(eventObj) { alert(eventObj.target.selectedItem.data); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HBox backgroundColor="#CCCCCC"> <mx:Label fontSize="15" text="ComboBox populated from XML using DataBinding"/> </mx:HBox> <mx:ComboBox id="_cb1" dataProvider="{ArrayUtil.toArray(optionsXMLModel.option)}" change="onComboChange(event);"/> <mx:Spacer height="10%"/> <mx:HBox backgroundColor="#CCCCCC"> <mx:Label fontSize="15" text="ComboBox populated from XML using ActionScript" /> </mx:HBox> <mx:ComboBox id="_cb2" change="onComboChange(event);"/> </mx:Application> ###data.xml### <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <options> <option label="A-ADD" data="A"/> <option label="C-COPY" data="C"/> </options> -abdul -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 04, 2005 3:03 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Dynamic model Hi coders, I intend to create a generic screen containing a comboBox its content depends on externalized parameter specifying a XML file.
