Jamie, thanks for you help. I now have the data being pulled in and showing in the list. I can't seem to get the nodeName to populate my list? Any suggestions? Maybe I need to structure my XML differently?
This is what I am trying to do (see the misc tech -> Series selection (drag and drop): http://flexapps.macromedia.com/flex15/chartexplorer/explorer.mxml?versionChecked=true The above link is verions flex 1.5., which of course I am using Flex 2. I am also trying to use my xml below though. I am think I might need to loop through the xml in order to get all the childnode data into one array or arraycollection? So for instance say I want region "Japan" data to be dragable and plot into the graph I would need to loop through all the xml and put the japan node data into a JapanArray:Array. Then do this for each region (region = see data in bottom post; below)? Or am I over thinking this? Thanks again for everyones help.
