Well the reason is because when trying to get to the
hitdata.item.(object) I cause problems when using XML. Since
everything in my app is dynamic I cannot hardcode the hitdata.item
statements in my dataTipformat function. So I cannot use
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I have tried
hitdata.item.("@" + someVar), but it doesn't work. I would be more
than happy to use XMLlist or XMLListCollection, but it causes problems
with hitdata and other things....seems to cause more work later on
though it saves me from having to turn it into an ArrayCollection.
If you can tell me how to make XMLlist work using hitData.item
statement I would be greatful.
Thanks, J
