XML Data Integration

[rahma123]

Hi All

I create a flash movie to read the data form the XML file. Using XML
connector and Data set I am able display only character data only, I am not
able to display number and date type data.

Also I want to display one of the attribute of the XML record as combo box, is
it possible.

Help me to solve this problem.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

I think your problem will be in the way you configure your components.

If you say that you are using the XMLConnector component, I suppose you
imported a schema. Sometimes this might import the attributes with different
types (e.g. you want that a date attribute is represented in Flash as Date, not
as String). To fix this, use the Component Inspector -> data type and formatter
fields.

If one of your attributes is to be viewed as a list in a ComboBox, I recommend
you reading through the tutorial Bike Trips Sample Application: Using the
XMLConnector Component in Flash MX Professional 2004 by Leo Schuman, J.D.,
available at the Flash Developer Center - it shows in detail how to actually
use the ComboBox component in connection with XML data.


Hope this will help,

Simon.
