Question

I’m pulling in a xml-file with just one result in it. One of the nodes is picture, which contains a link to a picture. This is the xml-file:

 <artist>
    <id>502</id>
    <name>Bad Religion</name>
    <picture>http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/500/46612615/Bad Religion BR 2010.jpg</picture>
    <twitter></twitter>
</artist>

I’ve tested the url, and it’s correct. This is how I try to bind the url to the image instance (artistPic), but it’s not working. Displaying the artist name does work.

var artist:XMLList = new XMLList(event.result);
artistPic.source = artist.picture;
lblArtistName.text = artist.name;

Answer 1

That’s because artist.picture returns an XMLList object. Try the following code :

var artist:XML = new XML(event.result);
artistPic.source = String(artist.picture[0]);
lblArtistName.text = artist.name; // This one is probably transtyped automagically by Flex.
