Peter,
Thanks! But I'm not using the results in a Tree or Grid, which seem to have
some magical parsing happening inside for you. I just want to do something
as simple as pulling a node value out of the incoming SOAP wrapped XML and
using it in, say, a TextArea. But... the following doesn't work...
<mx:TextArea
text="{MyService.myOperation.lastResult.people.person.firstname}"
/>
nor does
MyService.myOperation.lastResult.people.person[0].firstname
MyService.myOperation.lastResult.person.firstname
MyService.myOperation.lastResult.person[0].firstname
or any other pattern I've tried. Amy suggested referencing the path all the
way from the root node of the SOAP packet itself and treating the entire
SOAP message as a bix XML result, instead of just the node path of the
result. Something like...
MyService.myOperation.lastResult.myOperationResult.people.person.firstname
but I couldn't get that to work either.
