ArrayCollection error in Flex does not accept single XML nodes - alternatives?
- by Rees
hello, i get this error when i retrieve an XML that only has 1 node (no repeating nodes) and i try to store in an ArrayCollection. -When I have MORE than 1 "name" nodes...i do NOT get an error.
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert "XXXXXX" to mx.collections.ArrayCollection.
this error occurs as the line of code:
myList= e.result.list.name;
Why can't ArrayCollection work with a single node? I'm using this ArrayCollection as a dataprovider for a Component -is there an alternative I can use that will take BOTH single and repeating nodes as well as work as a dataprovider? Thanks in advance!
code:
[Bindable]
private var myList:ArrayCollection= new ArrayCollection();
private function getList(e:Event):void{
var getStudyLoungesService:HTTPService = new HTTPService();
getStuffService.url = "website.com/asdf.php";
getStuffService.addEventListener(ResultEvent.RESULT, onGetList);
getStuffService.send();
}
private function onGetList(e:ResultEvent):void{
myList= e.result.list.name;
}
