RE: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] Re: [flexcoders] accessing item data in an XMLList

[Shannon Hicks]

With the final release of Flex 2, you now need to add a root XML node to your data... it can be anything, it just has to be there...     <somekindofroot>     <node label="One item with subitem">         <node label="Subitem"/>     </node> </somekindofroot>   and   <somekindofroot>     <node label="One Item Only"/> </somekindofroot>   Shan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Root Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 3:18 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] Re: [flexcoders] accessing item data in an XMLList ping... 7 hours later I haven't come up with a solution.. anyone? I suppose I could send the whole XMLList object to coldfusion as a string and have Coldfusion parse it, but that seems like an unnecessary use of network bandwidth when all I really want are the labels compiled into an array and sent.
