Hi Collin,
Your problem may be that you have an attribute and a node both
named "label". Not sure if this will help, but I don't see the
labelField property set for your comboBox.
<mx:ComboBox id="types" width="200"
dataProvider="{config_xml.types.type}"
labelField="label"/>
If that doesn't work, maybe try using a different name for the extra
node.
