Hello

In one of my application i require to convert XML to ArrayCollection

I found one code snippet which help me to do same.

// Code Snippet

private function xmlToArrayCollection ( xml : XML ) : ArrayCollection
{
var xmlDoc : XMLDocument = new XMLDocument(xml.toString());
var decoder : SimpleXMLDecoder = new SimpleXMLDecoder(true)
var resultObj : Object = decoder.decodeXML(xmlDoc);

var menuArrColl : ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( new
Array( resultObj.menu.menuItems.menuItem ) ); // dynamic path
return menuArrColl;
}

make sure that u pass actual source items of the resultObj.

like here i have pass // resultObj.menu.menuItems.menuItem //
to generate ArrayCollection it may defer in your xml structure.

may it helps you.

Thanks
Virat
