@Scott

If I’m understanding your question correctly, the XML file can be located anywhere. You will simply have to update the link to it. Also, Flex is unable to load files locally so you will need to put it into a testing server environment.

Great stuff. Driving myself nuts trying to adapt code for an application I am working on. Two things are evident in the Flex Builder window…both my “creationComplete” and result=”contentHandler(event)” areas of the code are not colorized in the Flex tool as are all other code:value pairs. This may not be my issue, since I have no errors being thrown, but the data is not appearing in my grid. Question…is the location of the xml a subdirectory in your example or can it be any location on the same server?

Great example!

I would like to be able to edit the list nodes in the XML file it’s communicating with. Basically, to be able to delete a node record. How difficult would it be to make this happen? Any help would be appreciated. Perhaps another tutorial will demonstrate doing a search and removal node.

I’m a Flex 3 tyro, and I’m trying to teach myself the fundamentals. Your tutorials are quite helpful, and I adapted some of the code you provided to construct a dashboard application of my own. As in the example above, I’m populating a datagrid using an external xml file as my source data. However, I’m encountering issues when the field [being filtered by the first column in the datagrid] is empty. Basically, the dashboard crashes when it’s loading the data via the HTTPService call. This doesn’t happen if other fields are empty. It only occurs for the field being filtered by the FIRST column. When I remove those few records from the source file, the dashboard loads without incident. Does this seem like reasonable behavior? Is there a way to “handle” such occurrences so I don’t need to exclude those records?

Thanks and Regards,
Daniel Toma
