On thing that trips up a lot of folks is that the default resultFormat of the RPC protocols is "object". This causes the result xml to be converted to a nested object structure, which converts xml lists to arrays of objects. Using mx:Model does the same thing. So an expression like "xmldata. items.item" can work "acidentally", because you do not reallly have xml.
I advise always using resultFormat="e4x" and mx:XML. Now, doing that, you don't get an automatic array you can use as a source for an ArrayCollection. You have to manually build that array. There might be a method in one of the Util classes that would help, but I don't know it. Are you certain you need an ArrayCollection? XMLListCollection gives you the same API functionality, without the requirement to manually build a source Array. An XMLList can be wrapped directly.

I have found an example but its not working, example is pasted below, ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- <mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC" source="{xmldata. items.item} "/> The value for source is the name of the model (xmldata), the name of the XML's root node (items in this example) and the child node that the array will be based on (item). ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -------- I am doing exactly the same thing but its giving runtime error "cannot convert XMLList to Array". Any idea how to achive that?? or I have to manually Iterate on each node of XML to fill the array.??? ________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
