Hve you considered using XMLListCollection? It has all the benefits of a collection, retains the benefits of e4x expressions, and is easily created from XMLList:
Var myDP:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(xmlData.partsList.catalog); Tracy ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Schmalle Sent: Thursday, January 25, 2007 8:34 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to convert XMLList Collection to an ArrayCollection ? Hi, I don't think you can... In the help docs they have this example for each (var item in doc.p) { trace(item); } I would say you are going to have to bite the bullet and loop. ArrayCollection is just a wrapped array and I don't see any place where XMLList returns and array. It's like mixing apples and oranges. Although XMLList looks like an array it isn't.
