Simple Flex XML example
Hi,
I'm looking for a very simple XML example for use with Flex 3. Basically I have an xml file at http://localhost/data.xml that consists of:
<TestData>
<User>
<Name>Peter Membrey</Name>
<UserName>pmembrey</UserNa
<Password>helloworld</Pass
</User>
</TestData>
I would like to open this file and then be able to work with the content. So far whatever I've tried has failed and I'm not sure why. Ultimately I would like to have multiple users shown in a tree layout - but right now I can't even get to the data :-)
Any ideas?

Hi,
You can use HttpService to load a file from server.
This link might be helpful for you.

Hi guys,
I'm really looking for a code example that shows how I can load this data (either from a file or web service) and access the different parts...
Cheers!
