Unless your xml is very simple, you should not guess at the e4x expession, but rather work your way to the node you want by using temporary variables and tracing the results as you go.
To do this you must use a resultHandler, and do not use lastResult. Start with something like: private function handleResult(event:ResultEvent):void var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result) trace(xmlResult.toXMLString()); //CRITICAL step, verify your structure Then get the next node in the path you want, trace again, etc. Tracy Spratt Lariat Services Flex development bandwidth available ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcod...@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of m_ollman Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 4:23 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: parse SOAP response for values Tracy :-) Thought about the namespace issue - some examples where talking about the SOAP Header being removed automatically, I was'nt seeing that. The reult format is E4X. However I could not get into the structure using childNode etc. So I would start by defining the namespace it. <SOAP-ENV... typ="http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types <http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types> in AS public var typ:Namespace = new Namespace("http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types <http://ruleburst.com/ruleserver/9.1/rulebase/types> "); Next step I'm not sure about the path to the attribute. WS.Assess.lastResult.typ::session-data.global.global_1.abc570. WS.Assess.lastResult.typ::assess-response.session-data.list-entity.entit y.abc570 Will test in the morning when back at desk.
