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=""
href="http://Path/To/XML.aspx">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="">>
<menuitem label="2006" action="">>
<menuitem label="2006 07" action="" 07">
<menuitem label="Detail" action="">2006 07"
/>
<menuitem label="Rollup" action="">2006 07"
/>
<menuitem label="Summary" action="" Reports~2006 07"
/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="2006 08" action="" 08">
<menuitem label="Detail" action="">2006 08"
/>
<menuitem label="Rollup" action="">2006 08"
/>
<menuitem label="Summary" action="" Reports~2006 08"
/>
</menuitem>
<menuitem label="2006 09" action="" 09">
<menuitem label="Detail" action="">2006 09"
/>
<menuitem label="Rollup" action="">2006 09"
/>
<menuitem label="Summary" action="" 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?
Thanks,
Aaron
