Hi,

I am actually testing the XML tutorial from adobe and I would like to add data directly in the XML file.

Here is the xml file :

Model (bloggers.xml)

<bloggers>
    <blogger>
        <name>Andy Budd</name>
        <url>http://andybudd.com</url>
    </blogger>

    <blogger>
        <name>Grant Skinner</name>
        <url>http://gskinner.com</url>
    </blogger>
    <blogger>

        <name>Paul Booth</name>
        <url>http://paulbooth.com</url>
    </blogger>    
</bloggers>

And here the main application file :


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application 
    xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    viewSourceURL="src/DataProviderExternal/index.html"

    width="350"    height="220"
    creationComplete="bs.send();"
>
    <mx:Script>

        <![CDATA[
            import mx.managers.CursorManager;
            import mx.rpc.events.InvokeEvent;
            import mx.controls.Alert;
            import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
            import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
            import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
            
            [Bindable]

            private var bloggersCol:ArrayCollection;
            
            // Gets called when HTTPService is invoked to
            // request the XML.
            private function bsInvokeHandler(event:InvokeEvent):void

            {
                // Display the busy cursor
                CursorManager.setBusyCursor();
            }
            
            // Gets called when the XML is successfully loaded.
            private function bsResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void

            {
                // Save a reference to the list of bloggers
                bloggersCol = event.result.bloggers.blogger;
                
                // Hide the busy cursor
                CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
            }

            
            private function bsFaultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void
            {

                // There was an error in loading the XML
                Alert.show (event.fault.message);    
                
                // Hide the busy cursor
                CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
            }
        ]]>

    </mx:Script>
    
    <!-- Service to load in XML -->
    <mx:HTTPService
        id="bs" 
        url="data/bloggers.xml"

        invoke="bsInvokeHandler(event);"
        result="bsResultHandler(event);"
        fault="bsFaultHandler(event);"

    />
    
    <mx:Panel title="Bloggers we love!" width="100%">

        <mx:List 
            id="bloggersList" width="100%" rowCount="4"

            dataProvider="{bloggersCol}"
            labelField="name" 
        />

        <mx:ControlBar horizontalAlign="center">

            <mx:Button 
                label="Add a blogger!" 
                click="bloggersCol.addItem({name:'Pete-Barr Watson', url:'http://petebarrwatson.com/'});"

            />
        </mx:ControlBar>

    </mx:Panel>
</mx:Application>

is there any possibility to make the data directly into the XML file without using a server ?

thank you
