[SIZE=2]Conider the tutorial from Macromedia, Data Integration: Using XML for a Timesheet (Flash Professional Only) which uses the XML file,[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]The tutorial carefully steps you through the process of creating the Bindings and the Schema in all three components. But now I’d like to try my own XML file and DataGrid, but my XML file is a little different. Here is a sample of what I am looking at,[/SIZE]
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE ROOT SYSTEM "CountrySample.dtd">
<ROOT>
<row>
<field name="Code">AFG</field>
<field name="Name">Afghanistan</field>
<field name="Continent">Asia</field>
</row>
<row>
<field name="Code">NLD</field>
<field name="Name">Netherlands</field>
<field name="Continent">Europe</field>
</row>
<row>
<field name="Code">ANT</field>
<field name="Name">Netherlands Antilles</field>
<field name="Continent">North America</field>
</row>
<row>
<field name="Code">ALB</field>
<field name="Name">Albania</field>
<field name="Continent">Europe</field>
</row>
<row>
<field name="Code">DZA</field>
<field name="Name">Algeria</field>
<field name="Continent">Africa</field>
</row>
</ROOT>
[SIZE=2]In the Macromedia tutorial, the data are attributes in the row element and the field names are the attribute names. In my example the child element is the field and the field name is the attribute “name”.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I can find no documentation to help make the transition from the demonstrated XML to this new schema. I’ve seen Kirupa’s excellent tutorial “Using the DataGrid Component”, but I’d rather negotiate the user interface in Flash than create some kind of script. I haven’t the slightest idea what to do. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]How do you apply the Component Inspector and the Properties windows to display this data in the DataGrid?[/SIZE]
