RE: [flexcoders] How to cast a WebService lastResult when CFC returnType="xml"

[Peter Watson]

Darren,     If your XML nodes have attributes (ie. <node label=”foo”></node>) – you can use the ‘labelField’ attribute to control the labels.               <mx:Tree id="myTree" labelField="@label"/>     If they don’t (ie. <foo>bar</foo>) – or if you want to do any sort of custom label logic, you need to use the ‘labelFunction’ attribute to set the values appropriately.   <mx:Tree id="myTree2 labelFunction="myLabelFunc"/>                           public function myLabelFunc (item:XML):String{                                                                           //if node has children                                     if(item.children().toString() != ''){                                                 return item.name();                                     }                                     //no children, it’s a leaf so get the value                                     else{                                                 return item.toXMLString();                                     }                         }     regards, peter   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Darren Houle Sent: Monday, August 21, 2006 4:33 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] How to cast a WebService lastResult when CFC returnType="xml"   Bump??
