OK, I have posted several times now about problems caused by having namespaces in XML in Flex (specifically Beta 3), and have gotten virtually no responses. Please, someone respond, even if to say "I have the same problem" or "this can't be done". I am beginning to think that Flex is simply not very capable in this area. I seriously hope this is not the case.
Default namespaces seem to be the most problematic, as they seem to prevent the XML from even being used as a DataProvider. Take this simple setup. ======================= var entries:XML = <rootNode xmlns="http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata";> <Entry> <CreateDate>5/5/2006 9:56:30 AM</CreateDate> <DocumentType>RPR</DocumentType> </Entry> <Entry> <CreateDate>5/3/2006 3:07:27 PM</CreateDate> <DocumentType>RPR</DocumentType> </Entry> </rootNode>; namespace d = "http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata";; var list:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(entries.d::Entry); myDataGrid.dataProvider = list; <mx:DataGrid id="myDataGrid" x="10" y="247" width="536" height="230"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 1" dataField="CreateDate"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Column 2" dataField="DocumentType"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> ======================= This results in the DataGrid being populated with 2 items, but there is no text displayed. You simply have empty rollovers. However, if you remove the namespace from the xml and update the AS accordingly, everything works correctly, with text being displayed as expected. Is this really a shortcoming of Flex or am I missing something really simple? Thanks, Ben ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Home is just a click away.
