xml into a data provider

[dragonair1]

I have constructed a xml file out of php you can find it here:
[url]http://dinogod.adrianhosting.com/smf/coverflow/list.php[/url]

I need to be able to load
the xml formatted file into flex and use it as the dataprovider for a
component I have

how should I go about doing this?

[VarioPegged]

Use the HTTPService component to load the XML. See the
[url]http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/index.html[/url] for complete info.

<mx:HTTPService id="service"
url="http://dinogod.adrianhosting.com/smf/coverflow/list.php" useProxy="false"
method="POST" resultFormat="e4x">

Then you can either have a result handler where you assign the result to a
variable or do something else with it, or you could just assign the service's
lastRequest to the data provider.

<local:DisplayShelf id="shelf" horizontalCenter="0" verticalCenter="0"
borderThickness="5" borderColor="#FFFFFF"
dataProvider="{service.lastResult.image.url}" enableHistory="false"
width="100%"/>

And I think it is best to set the resultFormat property of the HTTPService to e4x, as processing xml in e4x format is I think the best way to go.
