Answer 1

i cant figure out when i leave these lines commented out i can get data.
but when i apply the filter, i get
{ 'a': + listResults}
verbatim
now if i was to comment the following 3 lines this is what the data looks like
in the textinput control.
//var listResults:XMLList;
//listResults = xmlResults.GetWeatherByZipCodeResult.Details.WeatherData.MaxTemperatureF;
//zipcode.text = listResults;
data returned to textinput control with 3 lines commented out is below:
