just an idea. take the object returned from your cfquery and make an XML object out of it.
eg var xml1:XML = new XML(yourcfquery_returnedobject); then do var xc3:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(xml1.children()); (n.b. in your case the xmllistcollection data might not be based on the children of the xml as i have shown) regards bod --- In [email protected], "Paul Hastings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > i'm successfully returning a cfquery to flex. i can get at all of the > columns in the query save one, a columns containing a gob of xml. > whatever data type i try to cast it as (ArrayCollection, > XMLList,XMLListCollection, etc.) flex refuses to do the conversion. in > the debugger it shows up as an "Object". i don't even know where to > begin using an xml "Object". > > the xml is correctly formatted as i can use it inline in flex w/out > any problem. if i dump the event headers, the xml data is all there. > since beating my head against the monitor doesn't seem to help, i'd > thought i'd ask here again. any ideas on how to handle this issue? > > thanks. > -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
