Question : XML issues in flex

I am using Flex Builder 3.0 and i keep getting XML issues when loading XML data using mx:HTTPService.  The XML is formated properly because I have tested it in Internet Explorer.  Is there a method where I can use in ActionScript so that if there is a Invalid formatted record it doesn't stop loading the data but skips over that XML record?

I get the following error code



Error #1096: XML parser failure

Answer : XML issues in flex

to answer your question...

">>  Is there a method where I can use in ActionScript so that if there is a Invalid formatted record
>> it doesn't stop loading the data but skips over that XML record?"


no...  your XML has to be valid... even using a try catch in actionscript is not the answer, because the data has to be well formed BEFORE it gets into the programming.


I would recommend restricting who can update the XML, AFTER you make sure it is completely validated and accessible to AS 3 code.
