I am using a Data Provider to load an xml file into a Tree
structure. My xml file has repeating nodes of <container> and
<product>, they are nested arbitrarily to reflect a proof of
concept. When I load this file into a Tree structure I get
repeating nodes, however in the original xml file, of course, these
nodes do no appear.
My call to load the xml into a XMLList through a Handler
function is as follows:
[Bindable]
private var dishesDP:XMLList;
private function dishesXMLHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
dishesDP = event.result..container;
}
The incorrect XML being loaded into my XMLList:
<container title="Pants" description="These go on your
legs">
<container title="Jeans" description="They are blue and
last a long time.">
<product id="1" title="Levi's Denium" description="Nice
normal blue jeans." price="17.50" image="image2.jpg"/>
<product id="2" title="Abercombie" description="Did
someone already wear these?? They got holes in them?" price="24.95"
image="image2.jpg"/>
</container>
<container title="Slacks" description="Nice than jeans,
wear them to work.">
<product id="3" title="Dockers" description="Boring old
people pants." price="14.95" image="image4.jpg"/>
<product id="4" title="Old Navy" description="Cheap
slacks, always got something slightly weird about them."
price="18.75" image="image4.jpg"/>
</container>
</container>
<container title="Jeans" description="They are blue and
last a long time.">
<product id="1" title="Levi's Denium" description="Nice
normal blue jeans." price="17.50" image="image2.jpg"/>
<product id="2" title="Abercombie" description="Did
someone already wear these?? They got holes in them?" price="24.95"
image="image2.jpg"/>
</container>
<container title="Slacks" description="Nice than jeans,
wear them to work.">
<product id="3" title="Dockers" description="Boring old
people pants." price="14.95" image="image4.jpg"/>
<product id="4" title="Old Navy" description="Cheap
slacks, always got something slightly weird about them."
price="18.75" image="image4.jpg"/>
</container>
....
The orginal (and correct) XML, existing in a remote file:
<root>
<container
title="Pants"
description="These go on your legs">
<container
title="Jeans"
description="They are blue and last a long time.">
<product
id="1"
title="Levi's Denium"
description="Nice normal blue jeans."
price="17.50"
image="image2.jpg"
/>
<product
id="2"
title="Abercombie"
description="Did someone already wear these?? They got holes
in them?"
price="24.95"
image="image2.jpg"
/>
</container>
<container
title="Slacks"
description="Nice than jeans, wear them to work.">
<product
id="3"
title="Dockers"
description="Boring old people pants."
price="14.95"
image="image4.jpg"
/>
<product
id="4"
title="Old Navy"
description="Cheap slacks, always got something slightly
weird about them."
price="18.75"
image="image4.jpg"
/>
</container>
</container>

The actually application link can be provided if necessary.
