Surprised this didn't error before.
All e4x expressions reuturn an XMLList, even if there is only one node. So you have to do: x = srv.lastResult.Term.Department.(@id==cDept).Course.(@num==cCrs)[0]; //to get the one and only XML node Tracy ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of kenny14390 Sent: Friday, June 27, 2008 7:54 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] XMLList -> XML Spontaneous Error Code that I haven't touched in months is now giving me errors at runtime. It's compiling without even a warning, but when the application is run, I get unexpected results. When I run the app in debug mode, all breakpoints are ignored (news to me) so it's difficult to find exactly what's wrong. I get the following error: TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert [EMAIL PROTECTED] to XML. at Schedule/setWorkingCourse()[C:\Documents and Settings\Ricky\My Documents\CS\Flex Projects\DDVSB2\src\Schedule.mxml:1286]... So I went to that line and I found absolutely nothing wrong: x = srv.lastResult.Term.Department.(@id==cDept).Course.(@num==cCrs); x is defined a few lines up as x:XML. srv is the HTTPService that is called upon creationComplete, and it is working just fine with the rest of the application. cDept and cCrs are working fine as well. Here's an example of the code that I'm trying to assign to x: <Course dept="ARTH" j="4" num="287A" name="Topics In Modern Art" credits="4.000" gened="W Writing (Harpur Req)"> <Section id="01" dept="ARTH" select="" num="287A" crn="92468" days="MW" time="15:30-16:55" instr="TBA" place="FA 258" capacity="84"> <Config>Discussion</Config> </Section> <length>1</length> </Course> That looks like valid XML to me! Apparently, it's an XMLList and that is unable to be coerced to type XML. It's only been doing that for the past few months with no problem. What could be the problem? Why is Flex being so weird?
