Alex: Thank you for your suggestions. I stuffed the raw XML into a TextArea and it looks fine and matches what I get requesting the same url in my web browser.
The reason I'm fussing with array/arraycollection is ignorance. I'm trying to adapt things from various examples I've seen. I'm trying to do as you suggest bind directly, however, I'm not sure I'm doing that right either. I agree with you about keeping it simple...unfortunately, that's what I thought I was doing! :-) So given the my xml format, how do I bind it to the ADG? All the examples I can find use objects and HeirachicalData. If anyone can point me towards an example, I'll take from there.
