I am trying to convert a Spry Ajax site that uses ColdFusion
cfc's as a proxy to return dynamic xml from a Yahoo API. The xml is
quite complex. I wanted to know what the best method is to use to
transverse the XML in Flex components. I am currently developing
the project with RemoteObject calls to the xmlproxy.cfc. Should I
return the xml data as an ArrayCollection or some other method.
Also can you provide a brief example of how to "get to" some of the
deepest xml nodes. Thanks in advance:
Sameple of XML.
