[flexcoders] problem using httpservice to fetch xml

[pateyog]

I am facing a problem with a code which used to work with flex beta
2.0 but has stopped working when I moved to the release version. I get
the following error while executing the below given code:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
mx.collections::[EMAIL PROTECTED] to Array.

The flex app
============
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
backgroundAlpha="0"
    creationComplete="srv.send()">

    <mx:Script>

        import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;

        [Bindable]
        public var employees:ArrayCollection;

    </mx:Script>

    <mx:HTTPService id="srv" url="employees.xml" useProxy="false"
        result="employees = new
ArrayCollection(srv.lastResult.list.employee)"/>

    <mx:HBox width="100%" height="100%">

        <mx:DataGrid id="dg" width="100%" height="100%"
dataProvider="{employees}">
            <mx:columns>
                <mx:Array>
                    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="name"
headerText="Name"/>
                    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="phone"
headerText="Phone"/>
                    <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="email"
headerText="Email"/>
                </mx:Array>
            </mx:columns>
        </mx:DataGrid>

        <mx:Form width="100%" height="100%">
            <mx:FormItem label="Name">
                <mx:Label text="{dg.selectedItem.name}"/>
            </mx:FormItem>
            <mx:FormItem label="Email">
                <mx:Label text="{dg.selectedItem.email}"/>
            </mx:FormItem>
            <mx:FormItem label="Phone">
                <mx:Label text="{dg.selectedItem.phone}"/>
            </mx:FormItem>
        </mx:Form>

    </mx:HBox>

</mx:Application>
