RE: [flexcoders] Binding chart to XML
Cheers Ely, that works great! I had to change it slightly, because the reason my XML was in a string, is that it'll be provided externally. I just added: myXml = new XML(sXML); instead of using the XmlUtil stuff. Thanks!

RE: [flexcoders] Binding chart to XML
In Flex 2.0, the XML class is now the new e4x class. The old XML is still available by using XMLDocument. That message indicates you still have some confusion between the two XML classes. There is NO XMLNode in e4x. Everything is just XML. But mx.utils.XMLUtil.createXMLDocument(sXML); I bet is returning that old class, and there is no @ in that class. Decide which xml you really want to use. (Use e4x unless you have a really good reason not to). Look at the docs on e4x, they are very short, then post back.
