Hi Tracy, thanks for your answer. Unfortunately you skipped the really interesting part how to reference the correct nodes/attributes in XML. At the moment I solved my problem about the ComboBox by writing a method which extracts node values and puts them into an array(), so this array can be bound directly to a dataProvider of a ComboBox.
Now I have a very similar problem with a DataGrid. I have again XML in a string ( the framework I use delivers VO's as XML ) and I would like a DataGrid to display my data. I defined a var vehicle = XMLUtil.createXML(event.result).firstChild.childNodes; and this is the result, if i bind vehicle to a TextArea; <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>014</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>sonstiges</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText /><Tueren /><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190 /><C_0200 /><C_0210 /><C_220 /><C_0230 /><C_0240 /><C_0250 /><C_0260 /><C_0270 /><C_0280 /></vehicle>, <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>011</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>sonstiges</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText /><Tueren /><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190 /><C_0200 /><C_0210 /><C_220 /><C_0230 /><C_0240 /><C_0250 /><C_0260 /><C_0270 /><C_0280 /></vehicle>, <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>013</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>sonstiges</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText /><Tueren /><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190 /><C_0200 /><C_0210 /><C_220 /><C_0230 /><C_0240 /><C_0250 /><C_0260 /><C_0270 /><C_0280 /></vehicle>, <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>013</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>Vierräder L2</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText>ATV 50</C_FahrzeugLangText><Tueren>0</Tueren><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190>2</C_0190><C_0200>0</C_0200><C_0210>49</C_0210><C_220 /><C_0230>0</C_0230><C_0240>040</C_0240><C_0250>0</C_0250><C_0260>1999</C_0260><C_0270>0</C_0270><C_0280 /></vehicle>, <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>014</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>Vierräder L2</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText>ATV 50</C_FahrzeugLangText><Tueren>0</Tueren><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190>2</C_0190><C_0200>0</C_0200><C_0210>49</C_0210><C_220 /><C_0230>0</C_0230><C_0240>040</C_0240><C_0250>0</C_0250><C_0260>1999</C_0260><C_0270>0</C_0270><C_0280 /></vehicle>, <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>011</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>Vierräder L5</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText>Go-Kart 125</C_FahrzeugLangText><Tueren>0</Tueren><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190>5</C_0190><C_0200>0</C_0200><C_0210>125</C_0210><C_220 /><C_0230>0</C_0230><C_0240>040</C_0240><C_0250>0</C_0250><C_0260>3499</C_0260><C_0270>0</C_0270><C_0280 /></vehicle>, <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>013</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>Vierräder L5</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText>Go-Kart 125</C_FahrzeugLangText><Tueren>0</Tueren><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190>5</C_0190><C_0200>0</C_0200><C_0210>125</C_0210><C_220 /><C_0230>0</C_0230><C_0240>040</C_0240><C_0250>0</C_0250><C_0260>3499</C_0260><C_0270>0</C_0270><C_0280 /></vehicle>, <vehicle><C_0010>10</C_0010><C_0160>014</C_0160><C_0170>ADLY</C_0170><C_0180>Vierräder L5</C_0180><C_FahrzeugLangText>Go-Kart 125</C_FahrzeugLangText><Tueren>0</Tueren><Aenderungs_KZ>X</Aenderungs_KZ><C_0190>5</C_0190><C_0200>0</C_0200><C_0210>125</C_0210><C_220 /><C_0230>0</C_0230><C_0240>040</C_0240><C_0250>0</C_0250><C_0260>3499</C_0260><C_0270>0</C_0270><C_0280 /></vehicle> If I bind vehicles to a dataProvider of a DataGrid it looks like at the picture I attached. At the moment I don't want to write a method for value extraction again, because I'm a beginner in XML in Flash. Thats why I ask again if there is some "nice trick" to convert the XML automatically to an object so it can be bound directly to a dataProvider. If this is not possible, I would appreciate for advice, how to get the XML value in the DataGrid.
