download the

Also, depending on what your renderer is _in_, you could use the

Let me try to clarify. The expressions panel cannot

Have you verified that the deeply nested data is actually properly formatted

sometimes need to cast the results of subqueries to XML.

Here's what the issue was:

None of this has worked.

When you give a component defined in MXML an ID, you essentially make it a

ether Cairngorm is good practice at all, but it
sounds to me as if the way you're using it is _not_ proper. ItemRenderers
shouldn't know anything about your model. All they should do is display and/or
edit the data that is pushed into them, without knowing or caring how that data
fits into the larger picture.
