Re: [flexcoders] ColdFusion Structures in Flex

[Dan Vega]

Here is what I am trying to do and it may make more sense. I have an object
coming back from ColdFusion that contains a list of datasource names. When
reading through the docs I can tell i need an arrayCollection or
XmlLIstCollection to use as the data provider.

I also need to list the field names for each datasource underneath that so
should I just build that completely on the cf side before passing it back or
when the datasource + is clicked retrieve a list of field names.
