I cant successfully convert xml to a array collection. I don't know what I'm
doing wrong. It works in MXML not AS3.
Here is the result from a service call:
public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
trace("result :" + event.result);
var myXML:XML = XML(event.result);
var ac:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
ac.source = myXML.menu as Array;
ac.refresh();
trace(ac.length);
linkBarNav.dataProvider = ac;
}
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert
[EMAIL PROTECTED] Class.
It works fine with this model :
<mx:Model id="menuXML">
<mainmenu>
<menu id="madmin" label="Maintenance" role="admin"
roleAction="hide">
<submenu id="mudacControl" label="UDAC Controls"
