Let me introduce myself really quick since I am a long time lurker and a first time poster. I am a graphic designer for a transportation company, that is slowly becoming a software developer (as it seems).
this is what I am trying to do: 1. populate a datagrid with xml (got this) 2. populate a datgrid along with it (got this also) 2. repopulate it every second(¿refresh?) with the same xml file, I am using HTTPService to bring it in but can't get a timer/setInterval to work at all; if that is the best thing.?¿ Heres my code; its pretty basic considering I am a beginner..... <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" initialize="titleService.send()"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.collections.ArrayCollection; import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent; [Bindable] private var myData:ArrayCollection; private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void { myData = event.result.items.item; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HTTPService id="titleService" url="data/datachart.xml" result="resultHandler(event)"/> <mx:Panel title="Demo Chart" height="325" width="340" layout="absolute" roundedBottomCorners="true" x="10" y="203"> <mx:LineChart id="linechart" height="100%" width="100%" paddingLeft="5" paddingRight="5" showDataTips="true" dataProvider="{myData}" x="0" y="0"> <mx:horizontalAxis> <mx:CategoryAxis categoryField="time" ticksBetweenLabels="true" displayName="Time"/> </mx:horizontalAxis> <mx:series> <mx:LineSeries yField="lane_a" form="segment" displayName="Lane A"/> <mx:LineSeries yField="lane_b" form="segment" displayName="Lane B"/> </mx:series> </mx:LineChart> <mx:Legend dataProvider="{linechart}" width="99" x="221" y="0"/> </mx:Panel> <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myData}" height="127" width="222" x="402" y="355"/> <mx:Button label="reload" click="{titleService.send()}" x="402" y="490"/> </mx:Application> Any help would be great, I have read through the livedocs and the help files but I am still stuck and can not get that code to work. Thanks again.
