Hi all, I'm about a week into learning Flex, liking a lot of what I'm seeing for how things have been built. Reminds me of "waaaay back" when Visual Basic was one of the larger tools on the market for front-end based applications in that all the components and presentation manipulation are right there.
I have one conceptual/programming question right now I'm struggling with. Say in the blogreader sample app tutorial, you wanted to have several buttons to read several different RSS or XML feeds. My attempts using HTTPService have failed because you don't know which feed to pull at runtime or been able to use a variable in the HTTPService url. Other attempts have been equally unsuccessful. Put the code from that tutorial in below for reference. Any help thanks! <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="absolute" creationComplete="feedRequest.send()"> <mx:HTTPService id="feedRequest" url="pathtoxml goes here" useProxy="false"/> <mx:Panel x="10" y="10" width="475" height="400" layout="absolute" title="{feedRequest.lastResult.rss.channel.title}"> <mx:DataGrid x="20" y="20" id="dgPosts" width="400" dataProvider="{feedRequest.lastResult.rss.channel.item}"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Posts" dataField="title"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Date" dataField="pubDate" width="150"/> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> <mx:TextArea x="20" y="175" width="400" height="100" htmlText="{dgPosts.selectedItem.description}" /> <mx:LinkButton x="20" y="283" label="Read Full Post" click="navigateToURL(new URLRequest(dgPosts.selectedItem.link));" /> </mx:Panel> </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
