Re: [Flashcoders] XML and CData
That's exactly what needs to be done. Taking my previous xml example: Which gives the following schema: <-> results : XML <-> content : Object <-> node : Array <-> [n] : String <-> @label : String You can then have the following bindings: You can bind the <-> node : Array to a dataProvider property of a List You can bind the <-> [n] : String to a text property of a TextArea If you then select the XMLConnector on stage, open the Bindings tab in the Component inspector. There should be 2 entries: results.content.node (bound to List) results.content.node[n] (bound to TextArea) When selecting the last one, at the bottom, there should be an entry saying: Index for 'node' with a fixed value of '0'. Select it and in the Bound Index dialog, unselect the "Use constant value" option. Then select the List in the "Component Path" window on the left. Select the 'selectedIndex' property as the "Schema Location" (right side window). Last thing to do is to have an initial binding take place when xml is loaded. For that to work, specify a default value for the selectedIndex of the List. Select the List on stage. Select the "Schema" tab in the "Component Inspector" Select the "<-> selectedIndex : Number" property At the bottom look for the "default value" entry. Fill in 0 as the value. If this still doesn't work, send me your xml file and let me know which bindings you'd like to have. kind regards, Muzak - Original Message - From: "Tim Beynart" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Flashcoders mailing list" Sent: Wednesday, November 09, 2005 2:46 PM Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] XML and CData Not the best workaround, but why not just use the parent node for yout HTML tags as your string?

Re: [Flashcoders] XML and CData
Hi Muzak, Very interesting... I plugged in your sample xml and it worked. After looking for significant differences between yours and mine, I found that works, but does not. Only difference being the space between and [CDATA. I can't find any requirement for there being a space before a CDATA, so unless someone else knows that the space is required it looks like a bug in Flash.

I am a little confused on whether or not Flash can import data in a

not sure if it's something I am doing or not, but I can get all my
data in my XML except what is in a CDATA. When loading the schema in
the Component Editor for an XMLConnector, the elements with CDATA
data have type . The other elements have their proper types.
I've Googled my butt off today and found some people say that CDATA
is supported, some say it is not supported, some say it is only
supported on the way in and not the way out. What I'm trying to do is
load data into an XMLConnector, then bind to a user interface
component such as a DataGrid, eventually with a DataSet component in

Can CData be used through an XMLConnector? Do I have to do things
manually via a new XML(), etc., or will even that not work?

I'm using this in MX 2004 to fetch the news for a given day from a MySQL
