Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to use XML file as dataProvider for s:List
if you need to load an external xml file from the file system rather than
from the server, compile your flex project using the option *
-use-network=false*. however, compiling in this fashion will not allow the
swf to make calls to the server.

I think we're almost there... except: I want the XML to reside in an

Is that easy to do?

Hi all.
I am using FB4, and want to specify an XML file to be used as the
dataProvider for an s:List object.
However, I just can't seem to work out how to do it.
Have read manuals, done google searches, checked forums - all to no
avail.
Can anyone help me please?
Format of XML file is thus:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8859-1?
imageList
image location=path/to/image1.jpg /
image location=path/to/image2.jpg /
!-- ... --

many thanks in advance!

[flexcoders] Re: How to use XML file as dataProvider for s:List
That's almost it - but I want the XML to reside in an external file, not in a
string in the AS3.
Is that easy?

PS - this may be a duplicate post... I replied already, but haven't seen it

Re: [flexcoders] Re: How to use XML file as dataProvider for s:List
If you want to load it from the server its easiest to make a http request.
If you don't need to change it at runtime. You can embed an xml easy enough.
anyway to load one see

RE: [flexcoders] Re: How to use XML file as dataProvider for s:List
You have two choices. You can embed the xml from an external file using
mx:XML source=myFolder/Myfile.xml /, which is a compile-time process,
or you can load it at run-time using httprequest as Matt says.
