How to populate tree with result of webservice return?

[jj3001]

I have one webservice I called to return list of division Id and name, and I
need to pupolate it to a tree which tah labe is divsion name and data is
division ID. How can I do it?

here is the code:

================================================== ================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"
initialize="getDivList();">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function getDivList():Void {
divWS.getDiv.send();
}

]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:WebService id="divWS" wsdl="http://localhost:8500/webApp/div.cfc?wsdl"
showBusyCursor="true"
fault="mx.controls.Alert.show(event.fault.faultstr ing)" />
<mx:HBox>
<mx:Panel>
<mx:Tree id="divTree" width="300" height="200"
dataProvider="{divWS.getDiv.result}" />
</mx:Panel>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Application>

==========================
I know this is not going to work. But how can i use the XML object to populate
the tree?
Thank you so much...

Well, without seeing the format of the SOAP envelope contents, it's hard
for me to give you a specific example of walking the data that comes
back from your web service. However, here are some basic things to
consider:

1) The treeview "node" doesn't have to be called "node" in the XML. In
fact, it can be called anything you want.

2) There doesn't even have to be a "label" attribute on each node

3) You don't have to shove your data into a single "data" attribute either.

Best practices:

a) don't nest properties in a child node- each node should contain all
is necessary properties (attributes).
b) All the nodes should have identical properties (attributes) for
consistency

Here is a robust example that proves all of these things. I define my
XML using a hierarchical data set, but with consistent attributes. I
told my tree control to use the labelField "firstName" for the label.
(If I needed a compound name, I could have used labelFunction and wrote
some actionscript to be really creative, like make it display last,
first or something).

Run it, look it over, and if you have a more specific question please
post it under a new thread.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
function changeEvt(event)
{
alert(event.target.selectedItem.attributes.lastNam e,
event.target.selectedItem.attributes.employeeId, mx.controls.Alert.OK);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>


<mx:Tree labelField="firstName" id="theTree" width="300" height="200"
change="changeEvt(event)">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:XML>
<employee firstName="Jasons" lastName="Weiss" employeeId="1">
<employee firstName="Dave" lastName="Thomas" employeeId="2"/>
<employee firstName="Nancy" lastName="Nurset" employeeId="3"/>
</employee>
<employee firstName="Joe" lastName="Schmo" employeeId="4">
<employee firstName="Judy" lastName="Dargo" employeeId="5"/>
</employee>
</mx:XML>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:Tree>


</mx:Application>


HTH,
