Thanks, that's the ticket. <mx:WebService> doesn't have a resultFormat attribute, but <mx:operation> does. Setting the operations' resultFormat to "e4x" gave me XML back. I also had to play around with the result to get past the outer layers. It involved the following:
var xmlResultList:XMLList = event.result as XMLList var xmlResult:XML = xmlResultList[0] trace(xmlResult.children()) However, with that said, I'm finding it's actually easier to deal with the tree of dynamic objects. I found something under the comments about the DataGrid object that explains how to handle the return result as either an ObjectProxy or an ArrayCollection. For my purposes turning an ObjectProxy (if that's what I got) into an ArrayCollection and then processing the ArrayCollection is working better than digging through the XML structure. I'm curious to know why you said that going straight to an ArrayCollection is rarely desirable. Can you give me more info on your reasoning behind that? Thanks!
