I'll take my best attempt.
1) Create the XML variable you will need to map the HTTPService object
data to and create a function that will handle the result call of your
HTTPService call.
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable]
private var xmldpAddress:XML;
public function LoadXML(evt:Event):void {
xmldpAddress = new XML(evt.target.lastResult);
//Do other result-driven actions here
}
]]>
2) In your HTTPService call a function to handle the result event:
<mx:HTTPService
id="feedRequest"
url = "[PATH GOES HERE]
useProxy="false"
resultFormat="e4x"
result="LoadXML(event)"
/>
3) So when you trigger the request via feedRequest.send() function
from either the creationComplete part of the application or a button
event, it calls the service, the service calls your result function
and the result function maps that service data object into an XML format.
4) As a result, you can then use dot notation for the XML in any
dataprovider you want.
<mx:TextInput x="139" y="143" width="151" id="txtProv"
editable="false" enabled="false" text="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
At that point, the help page under Programming ActionScript 3.0 > Core
ActionScript 3.0 Data Types and Classes > Working with XML >
Traversing XML Structures should give you all the examples you need to
bind the particular data you're looking for.
Good luck!
