Array Collection

Question

Hi,
I'm using the following code in conjunction with amfPHP to pull information from a database, this info is then (as far as I know) returned to flex as an array collection.
What I'm looking to do is populate the list with the data within the array collection,
Heres my code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" creationComplete="init()">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import flash.net.*;
            import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
            import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
            public function connect():Object
                var gw:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
                gw.connect("http://localhost/amfphp/gateway.php");
                var res:Responder = new Responder(onResult, onFault);
                function onResult(responds:Object):void
                  trace(responds.serverInfo.initialData[0][1]);
                function onFault(responds:Object):void
                    for(var i in responds)
                        trace(responds[i]);
                gw.call("Test.getRecordset", res);
                return res;
            public function init()
                connect();
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
    <mx:List x="75" y="113"></mx:List>
</mx:Application>

Answer 1

I've modified my code as follows,
the idea being that when the user selects a category from the list, the tile list is populated with the icons, I can get this to poulate with the icon reference but can't actually get the icons to appear. Also for some reason when i select business, the communications results come up and vice versa
