How to Display SVG Embedded in HTTService? (PHP)

Question

Hi,
I don't know if anyone on this list has tried to do this. I have a few files that I have generated SVG with PHP, and I am trying to load them into my Flex app. Looks like that the XMLList that I tried to convert from XML was generated correctly, and I could get it to print out as an XML String. However, how can I get the "image" to show up?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="population_map.send()"
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;    
           import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
           import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
           import mx.controls.Alert;
           private var alert:Alert;
           [Bindable]private var searchResult:XML;
           [Bindable]private var xmlList:XMLList;
           private function httpService_fault(event:FaultEvent):void {
                var title:String = event.type + " (" + event.fault.faultCode + ")";
                var text:String = event.fault.faultString;
                alert = Alert.show(text, title);             
            private function httpService_result(event:ResultEvent):void {
                  searchResult = event.result as XML; 
                  xmlList = XMLList(searchResult);          
                  //var xmlListCollection:XMLListCollection = XMLListCollection(xmlList); 
                //I can the error tellling me that I cannot convert XMLList@3613c49 to mx.collections.XMLLIstCollection
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
       <mx:HTTPService id="population_map" url="http://tdc-queuing/test/population_5grade.php"
       fault="httpService_fault(event);" result="httpService_result(event)" resultFormat="e4x"/>    
           <mx:Text text="{searchResult.toXMLString()}"/>  
</mx:Application>
  I don't want to save the file generated by PHP here to an SVG here, because I am trying to use a slider to allow users to customize the colors on the SVG.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
  This helps, but I am having troubles determining the differences between loading and compiling time.
  Here is the code, and right now it does display only text because I set it to mx:Text, but can I get it to display it as something else so that my "SVG" in the HTTPService can be embedded otherwise?
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" creationComplete="population_map.send()">
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;       
           import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
           import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
           import mx.controls.Alert;
           private var alert:Alert;
             [Bindable]private var searchResult:XML;
             [Bindable]private var xmlList:XMLList;
            private function myDataTipFunc(val:String):String {
                var myNumber:Number = Number(val);
                var roundedValue:String= String(myNumber.toFixed(2));
                return "Current value: " + roundedValue;
           private function httpService_fault(event:FaultEvent):void {
                var title:String = event.type + " (" + event.fault.faultCode + ")";
                var text:String = event.fault.faultString;
                alert = Alert.show(text, title);               
            private function httpService_result(event:ResultEvent):void {
                  searchResult = event.result as XML;   
                  xmlList = XMLList(searchResult);            
                  //var xmlListCollection:XMLListCollection = XMLListCollection(xmlList);    
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
       <mx:HTTPService id="population_map" url="http://localhost/population_5grade.php"
       fault="httpService_fault(event);" result="httpService_result(event)"
           resultFormat="e4x"/>      
           <mx:Text text="{searchResult.toXMLString()}"/>         
           <!--This of course loads the svg text output, but is it possible to get it to be displayed as an image?-->
         <mx:HSlider height="80" dataTipFormatFunction="myDataTipFunc"/>
</mx:Application>
Thanks for your help.
