Re: [flexcoders] Re: XML returned from HTTPService is not preserved as XML

[JesterXL]

Same thing I've been doing since Flash 5, converting XML to array's of objects.   Check out the Factory here.  My E4X skills are horrible, BUT I can get useful data from it. http://www.jessewarden.com/archives/2006/07/flex_2_webservice.html   ----- Original Message ----- From: Jordan Snyder To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, July 08, 2006 12:47 AM Subject: [flexcoders] Re: XML returned from HTTPService is not preserved as XML OK, OK, don't flame me.  I know... resultFormat="e4x" But now I'm up another creek.  I want to assign some of the values of this return to comboboxes and datagrids as their dataproviders.  Before, I could do so easily, as the results were converted to Arrays, but now it's not so simple, and I'm banging my head yet again. What is the best way to get XML back from an HTTPService and actually use it as dataProviders, but still maintain the flexibility of having is in an e4x format? Please!  How are you guys doing this?  Maybe I just need to sleep or something..... But I'm going insane.

I'm calling an HTTPService that returns XML.  In the return, I can start to access everything as I would through an Object, and it lets me.  I would, however, like to be able to perform E4X operations on this data, since it IS XML and all, but I cannot convert the result into XML or an XMLList.  I can't even manage to loop over the code and append the nodes to another specially-made XML structure. Simply, if I want XML returned from a service to remain XML that I can actually work with, what do I do?  This seems too simple. __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com SPONSORED LINKS Web site design development Computer software development Software design and development Macromedia flex Software development best practice YAHOO!
