var oRequest:Object = {xmlstring=XMLData.toXMLString()};
myHTTPService.send(oRequest);
Now this way, the xml string the server gets will not be valid xml
because it will have no root. You can handle this on the server, or as
I do:
When you get the xml from the server , put it in an instance level xml
var. (in the result handler). You can copy() it if you need to preserve
the original for something like undo. Then pull your XMLList or
collection directly from this var. Changes made to the xml will be made
in the instance var and you can then send it back to the server as
above, using toXMLString(). The server will get valid xml and can
loadXML() or whatever to parse it.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: HTTPService - save DataGrid data
Yes, I am getting XML from tthe server.
I am assigning data to DataGrid like this:
o.dataProvider = XMLData;
where XMLData is XMLList:
var XMLData:XMLList = XML(resultXML).copy().someXml
<you can send the xml straight back to the server
And that is my question: How to do that?
Thanks for help.
