RE: [flexcoders] accessing item data in an XMLList

[Gordon Smith]

Your code is properly traversing all nodes, including the root node. But when you recursively call showList(item.children()), the first thing that happens is that you set       txtResults.txt = "";   which wipes out the previous text produced from the root node. I found what the problem was by inserting trace() statements rather than just looking at the final txtResults.txt.   The debugger in FlexBuilder 2 also makes it easy to step through your code one line at a time to determine whether it is processing the root node or not. (Shameless plug for spending money on FlexBuidler... it would have saved you 7 hours!)   - Gordon   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rick Root Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 1:18 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: 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.
