Rob,
Great tip on using http instead of xml. The problem I am having now is I
think the component is trying to load before the service is completed. I
don't think the dataSet is filled when the component is setting up. I tried
to create the component in AS but it would not let me. Any help is
appreciated, I am racking my brain over this.
