How could i acces to the album Two, image 3???
How does the object would be?

Maybe something like:
resultObj.albums.album[2].images.image[3]; ?????

thanks.

Thanks,
Amit.

Try this:

private function serv_result(evt:ResultEvent):void {
    var resultObj:Object = evt.result;
    /* Assign the values... */
    nameText.text = resultObj['album-album'].name;
    img0Text.text = resultObj['album-album'].images.image[0];
    img1Text.text = resultObj['album-album'].images.image[1];
    img2Text.text = resultObj['album-album'].images.image[2];
}

Assuming you had the following XML packet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<album-album>
    <name>One</name>
    <images>
        <image>image1.jpg</image>
        <image>image2.jpg</image>
        <image>image3.jpg</image>
    </images>
</album-album>

But my XML file have hyphens in the tags. And i cant get it to work.
How would i do if for example the album tags instead of <album> was <album-album>?

You could try setting the resultFormat property on the HTTPService tag to “array” when loading an XML file and see what type/format of an ArrayCollection object that returns. To get at the underlying Array object, you would just access the ArrayCollection object’s source property.

Apart from that, if you have a specific format you want, I’d suggest just writing your own code. Take the last result from the HTTPService tag, and loop over the ArrayCollection/XML results and construct your own custom array of objects in the specific format you need.

    <mx:Array id="arr">
        <mx:Object label="One" data="1" />
        <mx:Object label="Two" data="2" />
        <mx:Object label="Three" data="3" />
        <mx:Object label="Four" data="4" />
    </mx:Array>

but coming from an HTTPService from a .php file outputting XML

I totally understand how that works… but how can I do that when I’m returning XML from a DB?

What would my XML need to look like? Also, wouldn’t I have to put the XML into a XMLListCollection or XMLList?

My XML is currently returning something like this:

Peter
Andrew
….
and so on…..

Would I want to include the employees primary key in the XML?

Peter
20
Andrew
2

Basically, I understand the logic behind .selectedItem…. but am really confused how to work with the XML as supposed to hardcoding my Object Array.

Thanks!

I typically use <ComboBox>.selectedItem.<fieldName>, or, something like the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">

    <mx:Array id="arr">
        <mx:Object label="One" data="1" />
        <mx:Object label="Two" data="2" />
        <mx:Object label="Three" data="3" />
        <mx:Object label="Four" data="4" />
    </mx:Array>

    <mx:ComboBox id="comboBox" dataProvider="{arr}" />
    <mx:Label text="comboBox.selectedItem.label={comboBox.selectedItem.label}" />
    <mx:Label text="comboBox.selectedItem.data={comboBox.selectedItem.data}" />

</mx:Application>

Hope that helps,
Peter

I’m having an issue with understanding Flex’s HttpService calls. I’m looking to do something similar to an HTML Select with my form. I currently have 1 List box and 3 comboBox’s receiving XML data from my MySQL DB.

It is currently just populating the Label, however when I go to insert/update to the database I want to insert the Value (or Key) and not the label. How could I do this? I thought if I returned the result from the HTTPService as a result it would look more like an HTML Select, however I can’t think of how the combobox or list will know what to submit when a particular Label is selected… since they are usually a selectedItem or selectedIndex.

Sorry for my confusing text either way, any help would be greatly appreciated.
