Re: [flexcoders] Re: httpservice.lastresult completes but theres no data.

E4X always reduces the  kind of nodes to  because first is
redundant and ambiguous. It is not clear whether the first kind is in fact
two nodes - an element node with a child text node with the value of empty
string, or is it a single element node. It is also longer than needed, if it
is meant to be a single node.

Well, the result was not missing, it's just that the way you printed it out
was not good. XML.toString() prints the value of the node, not the
structure. The value of the self closing node is "". However, toString()
makes an exception if the node to be printed is the root node, it will print
the structure of the node. I don't know what is the reason behind it.

Thanks for your help Oleg, Appreciated.

I think your solution makes sense although i think i also may have been
uneducated with the root node.

The server returns  as 

And since data is the root node, it appears to be ignored (or an empty
string like you say).



 



will turn into





And this solved the problem of the missing lastresult.

E4X prints the content of self closing nodes as an empty string (if it's not
the root node). You may want to use toXMLString() to print the structure of
the node.

It seems e4x is the problem.

If i change the httpservice class to "xml"

The lastResult property is shown.

There must be some special rule where this isnt acceptably in e4x:



It only shows under the xml format.

Why is this?
