Single item nodes get turned into objects, not arraycollections.
This is a common source of confusion and pain. AFAIK, there is no easy
way to deal with this - your code must anticipate the two data types.

Hello,
I'm having some really weird issues with populating an
advanceddatagrid with xmlList (quoteXMLList) data. Here is my
situation. I've got an xmllist that, when looking at one entry
(xmlList[0]), has xml looking like this.
<response>
<cost>
<totalCost>20</totalCost>
</cost>
</response>
Now I'm trying to get totalCost as a datafield and for it to show up
in a adg column. So I tried something like this
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid editable="false" width="100%" height="100%"
variableRowHeight="true" id="quoteDataGrid"
dataProvider="{this.quoteXMLList}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="cost.totalCost"
headerText="Total Cost" />
But nothing shows up. So, I changed my dataprovider to
this.quoteXMLList.cost and put dataField="totalCost" and it shows up
fine. But I can't do that cause I have more info I need to gather
for other columns that is in different areas of the xml in the
current xmlList. So, can you not put e4x notation in datafield, if
not what do I do here? Thanks in advance.
