It is not normal to get a good xml for 2 levels and nor for 3 or 4 levels, and here a really doubt that flex has an issue. So than it has to be a server issue. The server needs to return valid xml no matter how many nested levels are there. It can be an error on the server side logic or something... I don't know because I am not able to run cod against your server.
C PS. I believe there are 2 version of that utilities. If the link I gave you does not work, buzz me and I'll look through my sources and try to find the other one. However I use that utility to talk to a web service which return plane objects to me. You should be able to parse that result as xml anytime. ________________________________ From: Nick Middleweek <n...@middleweek.co.uk> To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thu, January 7, 2010 1:53:38 PM Subject: Re: [Spam] Re: [Spam] Re: [flexcoders] Problem Casting an Object to a known type Hi Claudiu, thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what you mean proper data? It is real data that we want returned. I will certainly look into using that Utility, thanks. But is this a bug in Flex? has anyone else come across this? It seems odd that it works with 3 levels of nested data but not 4 or 5...
