Bind components to display product information from an
external source
In the beginning of the tutorial, you added instances of the DataGrid, DataSet, and
XMLConnector components to the Stage. You set the
(named products_xmlcon) to the location of an XML file containing product information for the
Gift Ideas section of the application.
Now you'll use data binding features in the Flash authoring environment to bind the
XMLConnector, DataSet, and DataGrid components together to use the XML data in the
application. For general information on working with data binding and other features of the Flash
data integration architecture, see Chapter 14, "Data Integration (Flash Professional Only)" in
Using Flash.
When you bind the components, the DataSet component will filter the list of products in the
XML file according to the severity of the blunder that the user selects in the What Did You Do?
section. The DataGrid component will display the list.
