The resultFormat for RemoteObject defaults to "object". Are you sure you do not already have an object in your result?
Use a handler function and inspect the result object in a debugger. Often the issue with dataProviders is determining the exact reference pointing at the necessary array. For instance, sometimes you need event.result[0]. If you really have a string of xml, you could load it into an XML class object and use that as the dataProvider. Currently, referencing the correct nodes/attributes in XML is a bit clumsy, but I prefer it to the "black-box" conversion of xml to mx:Object that Flex does automatically. And unless your data and label properties are top-level attributes of the item nodes, you might need to use a label function: http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ObjectID=258 And in Flex 2, the XML class is significantly enhanced.

The result of the RemoteObject is a String in which is XML Content. If I create a Model by <mx:Model id="my_id" source="my_xml_file" /> and bind the ComboBox to "my_id" everything works fine. I searched the web and found a AS class XMLHelper http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ObjectID=243 , but the results of this classe are not suitable for a ComboBox. I further searched the web and found how to load dynamically XML using HTTPService http://www.cflex.net/showfiledetails.cfm?ObjectID=103 This seems to be interesting, but I think this only can be used with XML files. Of course it is possible to parse the String received by the RemoteObject and build a model ( well - I wasn't successful here, too ), but isn't there any "cheap trick" to do something in Actionscript with a XML String which has exactly the same result as <mx:Model> with a XML file? Any help is appreciated.
