Hi there.  
I have never looked at mxml and flex before. I am trying to come to grips with this method:

\<mx:Model id=“results” source="…/assets/data.xml"/\>

question: Does flex compile the xml when you run??? and if so does that mean that you can not just place an xml file and reference it.  
Problem: I Need to use more of the xml data for the rest of the interface. To me it looks like it is compiled, not dynamically pulled in.

Next question.  
How can I draw in the xml data in dynamically??  
Just use a standard actionscript method?

hope this makes sense? brndn
