Tracy, I could do that, but that seems a little roundabout. As in, I'm trying to get Flex to do something, but it can't, and so I change something else to get it to do the right thing. It will "work", but it just isn't as clean as I'd like.
Have any other ideas by any chance? :) Ankit --- In [email protected], "Tracy Spratt" <tr...@...> wrote: > > Can you control the xml?
