In fact, I was looking at the XML object in the debugger and there were no references to the <user...> blocks at all! Could this be a bug in Flex? I think I can send attachments, so hopefully there's a small screenshot that shows what I'm seeing in the event object. I'm getting this XML from LastFM. If you want to check it out yourself, here's the URL. http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/interactivenyc/friends.xml One fix for this would be to ask Last.FM to change this: <friends user="interactivenyc"> to this: <friends username="interactivenyc"> so that there's no conflict between the user property and the following user blocks. That would also be consistent with the <user username="cassidyvoice"> style. I could also treat the XML as a string and splice out the user property, but figure there must be a better way to handle this with the built in XML tools. -steve warren ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Alex Harui Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 8:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] XML and ArrayCollections problem You sure you didn't accidentally use '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' instead of 'friends.user'? ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Warren Sent: Tuesday, September 25, 2007 12:53 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] XML and ArrayCollections problem I tried using XMLListCollection, but have the same problem.
