That's it!!! Awesome. Thanks Tracy.
private var foo:XML = <types>
<typex event_type_id="1" label="General" value="foo"/>
<typex event_type_id="2" label="Tanning" value="foo"/>
<typex event_type_id="3" label="Tennis" value="foo"/>
</types>
<mx:ComboBox id="types" width="200" labelField="@label"
dataProvider="{foo.typex}" />

Try @label, since the values are in attributes. I think using a
sub-node makes that sub-node a top-level "property" so is accessible using
label.

The point is the when I use a <label> sub-node it DOES work. From what I
read on the internet I shouldn't have to have a sub-node, hence the point of
my email. Oh, and I also do have 'labelField="label"' even though that is
the Flex default and not required unless you want to change the name of the
label field.

Hi Collin,
Your problem may be that you have an attribute and a node both
named "label". Not sure if this will help, but I don't see the
labelField property set for your comboBox.
<mx:ComboBox id="types" width="200"
dataProvider="{config_xml.types.type}"
labelField="label"/>
If that doesn't work, maybe try using a different name for the extra
node.
