The (xml source code) -> XML|XMLList stage in MXMLC isn't so good. Often I need to embed XML as Binary objects, and go via String to parse it.
That's not much useful information though, so the answer to your problem is: <mx:XMLList id="testXml"> <sample badattribute={"ABC"}> <test name="1"/> <test name="2"/> </sample> <mx:XMLList> Note that despite the similar syntax I don't think these expressions are updated when input changes the same way bindings are. They *might* be when you're using .MXML, but the same syntax can be used to mix XML literals and ActionScript expressions in .as files. -Josh 2009/3/17 markdemich <d...@intellipro.com> > I have some embbeded XML inside an MXML file that I'm feeding to an > outline.
