Combo box populate from xml

[garag]

Hi.

Is it possible to publish an example that shows how populate a combobox with a
xml file?

For example, if you have this xml:

var sample : XML =
<Values>
<Value>
<Label>20 per page</Label>
<NumberPerPage>20</NumberPerPage>
</Value>
<Value>
<Label>50 per page</Label>
<NumberPerPage>50</NumberPerPage>
</Value>
<Value>
<Label>100 per page</Label>
<NumberPerPage>100</NumberPerPage>
</Value>
</Values>;

What is the right code to show in the combo the values of all the node "Label"?

The following doesn't work
combo.dataProvider = sample.Values.Value.Label;

Thank you
Regards

Hi guys,

thank you for your suggestions, they works.

I forget to write in my first post that I had also tried with:

combo.dataProvider = sample.Values.Value;
combo.labelField = "Label";

but it still didn't work because a XML variables already contains the root
node of the xml.

Many thanks
