Okay, I'm trying to figure this out. Things look just like the help files, but I'm not working. Here's what I got so far....
HTTPService is this ******************************** <mx:HTTPService id="rstTree" url="http://Path/To/XML.aspx"; useProxy="false" resultFormat="e4x" result="" /> ******************************* I've tried both e4x and xml as resultFormat. Script code looks like this ******************************** import mx.collections.*; [Bindable] public var myXLC:XMLListCollection; public function init():void { myXLC = new XMLListCollection (rstTree.lastResult.Root); } ********************************* I've got the init function being called at application creationComplete. Here's my tree MXML ******************************** <mx:Tree id="tvwProjects" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{myXLC}" labelField="@label" itemClick="treeClickEvent (event);" y="10"> </mx:Tree> **************************************** Lastly, here is my xml from the aspx page. ****************************************** <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Root label="Root" action="none"> <menuitem label="2006" action="2006"> <menuitem label="2006 07" action="2006 07"> <menuitem label="Detail" action="Detail~2006 07" /> <menuitem label="Rollup" action="Rollup~2006 07" /> <menuitem label="Summary" action="Z Reports~2006 07" /> </menuitem> <menuitem label="2006 08" action="2006 08"> <menuitem label="Detail" action="Detail~2006 08" /> <menuitem label="Rollup" action="Rollup~2006 08" /> <menuitem label="Summary" action="Z Reports~2006 08" /> </menuitem> <menuitem label="2006 09" action="2006 09"> <menuitem label="Detail" action="Detail~2006 09" /> <menuitem label="Rollup" action="Rollup~2006 09" /> <menuitem label="Summary" action="Z Reports~2006 09" /> </menuitem> </menuitem> </Root> ********************************** I know that I'm returning my xml from the HTTPService since I can show an alert box with data from it. However, Nothing is showing in my tree. Nothing. Can anyone help?
