What are you wanting in your display?
A straight table with three columns: "period", "ccode", and "detects"? If so, then that is not hierarchical and you are making this more complicated than it is. Why did you choose ADG instead of plain old DataGrid? If your issue is accessing data nested in subnodes, then use a labelFunction. Make the dataProvider = xmlData.rollup (an XMLList. If you plan to undate it programatically, then wrap it in an XMLListCollection). The labelFunction can reach down into any node of rollup you want Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of todd.bruner Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 7:06 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Data not appearing in AdvancedDataGrid Alex: Thank you for your suggestions. I stuffed the raw XML into a TextArea and it looks fine and matches what I get requesting the same url in my web browser. The reason I'm fussing with array/arraycollection is ignorance. I'm trying to adapt things from various examples I've seen. I'm trying to do as you suggest bind directly, however, I'm not sure I'm doing that right either. I agree with you about keeping it simple...unfortunately, that's what I thought I was doing! :-) So given the my xml format, how do I bind it to the ADG? All the examples I can find use objects and HeirachicalData. If anyone can point me towards an example, I'll take from there.
