[flexcoders] Struggling with simply using returned SQL data for a popMenuButton

[steveb805]

I've been trying like heck to get data returned from AMF Remoting and use it 
for the data provider for a popUpButton.  This data is from MySQL, just regular 
text fields/int fields, etc..

---------------------------------------------------

public var dataXML :XMLListCollection; // the data provider

private function getDataListener(event:ResultEvent):void 
{
     var xmlResult:XMLList =  new XMLList(event.result); 
     dataXML = new XMLListCollection( xmlResult.children()); 
}

-----------------------------------------------------

My grasp of xml is kind of iffy, so I got mixed up while reading the Flex docs 
on xml.

Is this the preferred way of getting back the data.
