  1. Dear Larry, I recently got your book and eagerly read it (I've read and tried 7 chapters in 3 days). I knew Flex when version 3 was in beta, but never programmed anything. I've just finished chapter 8 and tried to bind the drop down list showing the Departments using a simple query to the database in the same fashion you populate the grid with the employees. The PHP file i'm using is (getDepartments.php): <?php header('Content-Type: text/xml'); echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?><departments>'; require_once('mysql.inc.php'); $dbc = mysqli_connect(DB_HOST, DB_USER, DB_PASSWORD, DB_NAME, 3306); if ($dbc) { $q = "SELECT * from departments ORDER by 1"; //printf("\n%s",$q); $r = mysqli_query($dbc, $q); if (mysqli_num_rows($r) > 0) { while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r, MYSQLI_ASSOC)) { echo "<department> <id>{$row['id'] }</id> <Name>{$row['name'] }</Name> </department> ";} // End of WHILE loop } // End of mysqli_num_rows( ) IF } // End of $dbc IF echo '</departments>'; ?> Inside the declarations section I declare: <s:HTTPService id="getDepartmentsService" url="http://localhost/~Jorge/flex4ch08/getDepartments.php" method="GET" resultFormat="e4x" result="getDepartmentsResult(event)" fault="serviceFault(event)"> </s:HTTPService> I included the script: private function getDepartmentsResult(event:ResultEvent):void { departmentsList= event.result.department; } And in the MXML application I tried: <mx:FormItem label="Department"> <s:DropDownList id="employeeDepartment" dataProvider="{departmentsList}" labelField="name" prompt="Select one:"></s:DropDownList></mx:FormItem> And keep getting the error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type XMLList to an unrelated type mx.collections:IList I thought I was very clever trying to replace the hardcoded list you included with this query which is now giving me headaches. Can you help me?
