[flexcoders] Best Practices:HTTPService, E4X, XML and dataProvider

[Brad Bueche]

Thanks to this group, I have come a long way in understanding this.  I
want to check my setup and see if I still have further to go.  Is this
the preferred way to set up a dataprovider when pulling XML in E4X
format via HTTPService?  Or do I still need to some how incorporate
XMLListCollection here?
 
public var xmlService:HTTPService = new HTTPService(); 
public var dataProvider:XMLList = new XMLList(); 

public function loadXML():void 
        { 
                xmlService.url = "http://hostname/Data/createXML.php";;

                xmlService.resultFormat = "e4x"; 
                xmlService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT,
resultHandler); 
                xmlService.send(); 
        } 

public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void 
{ 
    dataProvider = event.result.month; 
}
