Re: [flexcoders] Re: newbie needs best practices in looping thru XML

Yes, when resultFormat=object, that's how it works.  You might think resultFormat=array would be what you wanted, but it's even worse.  It returns an array, alright, but it's just an array containing this result, which can still be either a single object or an arraycollection.  I wish there was a resultFormat=array2 that would return it like shown below.  Would make it less of a hassle.

            Awesome.  This works.  Thanks.  I don't know what going on here, but 
here is the code that I used to loop thru.  I'm assuming that the 
HTTPService event is pulled in as an ArrayCollection if more than 
one record is returned.  

********CODE***********

import mx.collections.*;
import mx.controls.Alert;

public function afterSend():void
      {
	var a:Array;
	if(HTTPService.lastResult.CircSec.CircuitID is 
ArrayCollection)
	   {
	      a = HTTPService.lastResult.CircSec.CircuitID.source;
	   }else{
	      a = [HTTPService.lastResult.CircSec.CircuitID];
           }
           for (var i:int = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
	        Alert.show (a[i].FromBusName);
	   }
       }
