RE: [flexcoders] Issues with Datagrid non repeatinh HTTPService XML Result.
I think you will be happy with HTTPService. Specify resultFormat=e4x in the HTTPService tag, otherwise flex converts the xml into an nested mx:Object structure. I find e4x XML much easier to work with. Don't bind directly to lastResult. It is too hard to debug. Instead use a result handler, and set an instance variable value(XMLListCollection) to event.result.STAFFREC in that, and bind the DataGrid dp to the instance variable. In the handler, you can trace the instance variable.toXMLString() to see exactly what yo have, and how to set the DataGridColumn dataField or labelFunction. I've written sample code tor this so many times I don't want to do it again right now, but post if you need more detail.

Sample code using HTTPService, e4x, handler function to populate a list item The DataGrid tag: mx:DataGrid id=dg dataProvider={_xlcMyListData} .../ The HTTPService tag: mx:HTTPService id=service resultFormat=e4x result=onResult(event) fault=/ Script block declaration: import mx.rpc.Events.ResultEvent; [Bindable]private var _xlcMyListData:XMLListCollection; Result Handler function: private function onResult(oEvent:ResultEvent):void { var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result); //converts result Object to XML. can also use as operator var xlMyListData:XMLList = xmlResult.myListData; //depends on xml format, is row data _xlcMyListData = new XMLListCollection(xlMyListData); //wrap the XMLList in a collection trace(_xlcMyListData.toXMLString()); //so you can see exactly how to specify dataField or build labelFunction From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tracy Spratt Sent: Friday, March 30, 2007 1:35 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: RE: [flexcoders] Issues with Datagrid non repeatinh HTTPService XML Result.
