WEIRD! I found the problem, but I'm not sure it makes me feel any better. After adding a labelFunction, and seeing that it wasn't even being called, I decided to add some funky methods to my Node class and debug them, just to see what was happening there.
To my surprise, when I clicked files in debug, I noticed that the Node class was not there. Apparently, though the array group.nodes was populated with Node objects, and they had all the correct data that existed in the remote database, they weren't being instantiated; or, at least, they weren't as Node objects. What I did, was a simple var node:Node = new Node(); in my main MXML file. This empty class does nothing except register that there is a Node class that can be instantiated. After that, my problem is solved. The List shows all the Nodes correctly, and Node appears in the list of debuggable classes. This isn't, however, a fix. WHY does Flex instantiate all my remote objects except Node? I properly state the Object.registerClass, and upon debugging the code, it SAYS that the group.nodes is an Array of Nodes. My remote POJO doesn't deviate from standard Java bean structure. There's nothing special about my Node class, especially when compared to my other POJOs which work fine. It doesn't reference any weird classes, and certainly none that my other operating POJOs don't also reference and operate on. This is a strange, and seemingly unexplainable problem. Any insight would be helpful. Especially if it's something *I* did! -Josh --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > If your dataProvider has data then look again at your labelField > settings or labelFunction code. > > In a labelFunction, be sure to use the dataProvider API methods, not > array or xml methods.
