Man, I've spent hours on this ... and the documentation seems no help.
I'm trying to populate a Tree from the following XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<node label="Mail" date="27-06-2006">
<node label="Inbox" date="28-06-2006" isBranch="true"/>
<node label="Personal Folder" date="29-06-2006">
<node label="Demo" date="30-06-2006" filetype="msword_file"/>
<node label="Personal" date="31-06-2006" filetype="msword_file"/>
<node label="Saved Mail" date="01-07-2006" filetype="msword_file"/>
<node label="Spam" date="02-07-2006" filetype="msword_file"/>
</node>
<node label="Business Folder" date="29-06-2006">
<node label="Instructions" date="30-06-2006" filetype="pdf_file"/>
<node label="Personnel Database" date="31-06-2006"
filetype="msaccess_file"/>
<node label="Quarterly Spreadsheet" date="01-07-2006"
filetype="msexcel_file"/>
<node label="Company Logo" date="02-07-2006" filetype="jpg_file"/>
</node>
<node label="Calendar" date="03-07-2006"/>
<node label="Sent" date="04-07-2006"/>
<node label="Trash" date="05-07-2006"/>
</node>
can anyone explain why the following code works (pretty much):
<mx:XML source="treexmldatastruct.xml" id="myMenuStruct" format="e4x"/>
<mx:XMLListCollection id="myMenuStructListColl" source="{myMenuStruct.*}"/>
<mx:Tree id="firstList" showRoot="false" dataProvider="{myMenuStructListColl}"
labelField="@label" />
while the following does *not*:
<mx:HTTPService id="treeModel" url="treexmldatastruct.xml" resultFormat="e4x"
showBusyCursor="true" fault="mx.controls.Alert.show('Could not get xml
Info!!!')" />
also using:
result="firstList.dataProvider=treeModel.lastResult.*"
in the HTTPService doesn't help, instead of the decalring the dataProvider in
the Tree doesn't seem to change anything.
In fact, I'm kinda fuzzy about the whole lastResult / event.result methods
anyway ... any pointers here? Or best practices?
Is using URLLoader instead an option?
Thanks
John
