Anyway, the reason this trouble started was because I was trying to
test out a dataGrid that was to be populated by an xml file. I was
following a training video on the site Lynda.com It ran fine on the
video but when I tried that out it said that there was a problem
related to accessing the dataSource which was the very simple xml file
with one top level container element and one repeating element. Since
I was using the same exercise files that the instructor was using, I
was quite stumped as to why this wasn't working on my system. In
fact, the instructor was using a Windows Vista system as well as I am.
So, I tried looking at the xml file properties from within Flex
Builder by right-clicking. I tried removing the check box for Archive
file and the one for Read Only. That didn't help at all, and I
continued to get the errors. I was expected to get a 2 column
display. I tried a number of different toggles of the
Properties of the xml file to see if anything would help.
I did notice that when I selected Run from within
Flex, that the browser window that comes up did not have a direct path
like this: c:\flexapps\workspace\demoapp\bin-debug\myappfile.html
Instead I was seeing file:///c:/etc. etc. with more characters..
.something you might see if editing a file in DW or another program
where the site is not defined.
Anyway, I feel stumped with all this. I'm dealing with 3 issues here
that are confusing me. Please help. If I can pass any files or
information to help anyone that would help me, please let me know and
I'll do that so that we can get this figured out.
