[flexcoders] Problem reading an XML file

[Sneha]

Hello All,

Can anybody help me find out the bug in my program which doesn't read children 
in an XML file. 

I am trying to get WOEID of the location provided from Yahoo webservice API. I 
have given below what I am doing and also the XML file generated from Yahoo.
 
<mx:HTTPService
id="weatherService" 
url = "
http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/places.q('{txtCity.text}');start=0;count=1?appid=your
 AppID" 
result="getWOEID(event)" fault="faultEventHandler(event)"
resultFormat="
e4x"/> 
 
This is what I am doing in Script tag. But nothing works. I am able to read the 
complete XML file but not the children of an XML file. Could someone help find 
the problem.
private
function init():void{ 
var city:String = txtCity.text;
//Alert.show("Your City:"+city); 
weatherService.cancel();
//var params:Object = new Object(); 
//params.q = city; 
//Alert.show("params.q"+params.q); 
//weatherService.send(params); 
weatherService.send();
} 
private function getWOEID(event:ResultEvent):void{ 
var myXML:XML = XML(event.result); 
taXML.text = myXML;
var cityList:XMLList = myXML.data.place.children();
Alert.show(
"getting woeid:" +cityList); 
//taXML = cityList.toString(); 
//cityList = myXML.places.place.name ; 
//cityList = myXML.place.woeid;
//Alert.show("in getWOEID() " +cityList); 
//lblWOEID.text = cityList; 
}
This is the XML file generated and I am interested in accessing <woeid>: 

<places yahoo:start="0" yahoo:count="1" yahoo:total="55">
&#8722;
<place yahoo:uri="http://where.yahooapis.com/v1/place/2371464"; xml:lang="en-us">
<woeid>2371464</woeid>
<placeTypeName code="7">Town</placeTypeName>
<name>Buffalo</name>
<country type="Country" code="US">United States</country>
<admin1 type="State" code="US-NY">New York</admin1>
<admin2 type="County" code="">Erie</admin2>
<admin3/>
<locality1 type="Town">Buffalo</locality1>
<locality2/>
<postal/>
&#8722;
<centroid>
<latitude>42.885441</latitude>
<longitude>-78.878464</longitude>
</centroid>
&#8722;
<boundingBox>
&#8722;
<southWest>
<latitude>42.824860</latitude>
<longitude>-78.942909</longitude>

<northEast>
<latitude>42.970741</latitude>
<longitude>-78.771393</longitude>

Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thank you
