Odd that the "as" operator is not working correctly for you.
I'd use the XML() syntax. Having the type be XMLList when it is actually an XML node might confuse someone some day. But its not my app. Perhaps someone else will have some input on the data type issue Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mykola Sent: Friday, March 21, 2008 3:23 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Re:Help binding an XML file from a webservice? Hi Tracy, I don't really want to disagree with you, but it is a technical issue and I see some difference in what you said and my code results. Maybe you will know the answer. > E4x event.result is XML. I am actually getting xml (lowercase) type, not XML type. When I run typeof on my event.result: trace("result type: " + (typeof event.result)); I am getting this line in the log: result type: xml For some reason, it is lowercase xml type. If event.result is XML, then casting of event.result to XML should work, right? For some reason, it does not really work: var xmlres:XML = event.result as XML; trace("xml result: " + xmlres); # flashlog.txt contains: xml result: null Why am I getting null? By the way, if I cast it to XMLList, I am getting an object that is not null. var xmllstres:XMLList = event.result as XMLList; trace("xmllstres result: " + xmllstres); # flashlog.txt contains: xmllstres result: <m:getProductsResponse xmlns:m="http://org/wssample/service <http://org/wssample/service> " xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ <http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> "> <m:return xmlns:java="java:org.wssample.product"> <java:ProductDetails> <java:ModelName>Blue-Ray DVD Player</java:ModelName> <java:ModelNumber>BPL051</java:ModelNumber> </java:ProductDetails> ... I can wrap event.result in XML object and it gives me an object that is similar to xmllstres. var xmlres2:XML = XML(event.result); trace("xml result 2: " + xmlres2); # flashlog.txt contains: xml result 2: <m:getProductsResponse xmlns:m="http://org/wssample/service <http://org/wssample/service> " xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/ <http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> "> <m:return xmlns:java="java:org.wssample.product"> <java:ProductDetails> <java:ModelName>Blue-Ray DVD Player</java:ModelName> <java:ModelNumber>BPL051</java:ModelNumber> </java:ProductDetails> Once again, I did not mean to disagree with what you said. I just want to clarify things. Thank you, - Mykola --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > E4x event.result is XML.
