This may be of help to you:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=data_access_2.html

explains the usage of http service and gives example in both php and 
coldfusion. Outlines request, server side processing of response, and response 
return.

Hope that helps.

Does that make sense? I guess another way to say it is: How do I turn 
xml into a PagableArrayCollect ion?

I wouldn't try to turn XML into an ArrayCollection.  Take a look at the 
XMLListCollection class.

Succesfully importing the package and declaring the variable typed as
PagableArrayCollection should be all you need to do.  Then as Jeffrey
says, in a result handler, assign the results from your data service
call to that var.  Binding will do the rest

Well, I think normally that would do the trick. Since I'm using an

RE: [flexcoders] Re: I'm missing something

2009-02-08 Thread Tracy Spratt
Ah, ok.  First, make sure you have set resultFormat=e4x. then, in the
handler, use an e4x expression to return the XMLList containing your
data.  Loop over the list, and in each loop, create a new Object with
the desired property=value pairs, and addItem(object) to the
ArrayCollection.

 

But, why not just use an XMLListCollection instead?  No loop is required
that way.

Not that I'm aware of.  the DataGrid's dataProvider should work fine 
whether it is in a swc or the main project.
