I looked at the response with Charles and with the variables debug window. The response is basically an arrayCollection of arrayCollections.
The following code will display the title of the first data item (Story). You should be able to extrapolate this easily for the rest of the data (ie. a for loop): <?xml version="1.0"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; creationComplete="onCreationComplete()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; import mx.controls.Alert; import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent; import mx.rpc.soap.mxml.*; private var ws:mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService; public function onCreationComplete():void { ws = new mx.rpc.soap.mxml.WebService(); ws.endpointURI = "http://www2.med.umich.edu/prmc/media/newsroom/stories.cfc";; ws.loadWSDL("http://www2.med.umich.edu/prmc/media/newsroom/stories.cfc?w\ sdl"); ws.addEventListener(FaultEvent.FAULT, faultHandler); ws.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, resultHandler); } public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void { var resultArrColl:ArrayCollection = event.result.data; var firstResult:ArrayCollection = resultArrColl[0]; Alert.show(firstResult[0]); } public function faultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void { Alert.show(event.fault.faultString); } public function runRequest():void { ws.listBySubject(); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:Button label="Run Request" click="runRequest()"/> </mx:Application> Run this with a breakpoint on the second line of the function resultHandler. You should be able to look at the resultArrColl variable and see that each object in the arrayCollection is itself an arrayCollection. Each object in that arrayCollection has 4 items - linktext, story, photo and defaultLogo. --- In [email protected], "Wally Kolcz" <wko...@...> wrote: > > I am having fits trying to figure out how to use the information coming back from a webservice.
