I have an .mxml file with an external .xml file as in your example above. I compiled and the application works, but I need my "configuration" programmers to be able to change the data in the .xml file and see those updates in my application but it isn't working. What am I missing here? Thanks. Will Peter,

You may have to try a <code>labelField</code> of "@label" if you're using an attribute, or "label" if you're using nodes. Peter @munaj ahmad,

In Flex 3, you can have an HTTPService grab an XML file as e4x and set your dataprovider of the List to the node you wanted. <code> </code> But trying to switch that to s:List completely fails and shows nothing, but without error: <code> </code> From what I understand, that is because the e4x object being returned by HTTPService (even s:HTTPService) does not implment the IList interface. Question being then: why the hell not? Second: What the hell do I do instead? I've tried numerous other formats (default object format, XML format, Array, etc) and those do fail with errors. Usually along the lines of not being able to convert ObjectProxy into IList. So far for me Flex 4 is a total bust. I thought the goal was to separate the skin from the components, but it seems other features were similarly stripped. I think it is quite obvious that if the mx: example above works, the s: example should also work. It is highly frustrating.
