I'm stuck on this as well. I've read through the above
samples and postings and am now feeling really retarded. I thought
throwing the contents of a simple XML doc into a DataGrid would be
easy, but I've been trying all morning and no love. Any help is
appreciated.
Here the XML --> guides.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<GuideList title="Current Guides">
<GuideItem>
<GuideName>11699240</GuideName>
<DisplayName>Supercharged Branding
Program</DisplayName>
<LinkText>View Downloadable Guide</LinkText>
<Franchise>Film/TV</Franchise>
<Property>Cars</Property>
</GuideItem>
<GuideItem>
<GuideName>11721503</GuideName>
<DisplayName> Packaging & Retail
Signage</DisplayName>
<LinkText>View Downloadable Guide</LinkText>
<Franchise>Film/TV</Franchise>
<Property>None</Property>
</GuideItem>
etc....
Here's the flex --> GuideListDisplay.mxml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute" initialize="guidelist.send()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable] private var myData:ArrayCollection;
private function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
myData = event.result.GuideList.GuideItem;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="guidelist" url="assets/guides.xml"
result="resultHandler(event)"/>
<mx:Panel title="{myData.GuideList.title}"> // 1119
<mx:DataGrid x="29" y="36" id="Guides"
dataProvider="{myData.lastresult.GuideList.GuideItem}"> // 1119
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Guide Number"
dataField="GuideName"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Guide Name"
dataField="DisplayName"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="DisplayText"
dataField="LinkText"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>
The lines throw with // 1119 throw a problem notice - 1119:
Access of possibly undefined property GuideList through a reference
with static type mx.collections:ArrayCollection.
