Theory looks good.
Have you debugged to see if httpResult is being called? One problem, you are not seetting resultFormat="e4x" in the component code, so the line, xmlFeed = event.result as XML; certainly will fail. But step into or put a trace in httpResult first.

Each will drive a visualization. Maybe more sources to come... here's what I want to do: make a class or component for each type of visualization, and pull the data in inside the class. so far: when I make a component and try to use HTTPService or URLloader I get no data. when I tried two httpservice tags in the MXMLapp, I get data from only one, I assume because the "event" never fires in one... But I'd rather call HTTPService from inside the component anyway. ##################################### this works in the mxmlapp: <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml <http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> " layout="absolute" xmlns:ns1="flare.flex.*" xmlns:demo="com.flare.*" xmlns:local="*" applicationComplete="rawData.send()" > <mx:HTTPService url= "http://john.znyx.com/oaflowdemo/mygraphml_realdata2.xml <http://john.znyx.com/oaflowdemo/mygraphml_realdata2.xml> " id="rawData" resultFormat="e4x" result="gmrResultHandler(event);" fault="gmrFaultHandler(event);" /> ....
