I’m posting “Chapter 5: Working with XML” from my book “Flex 3 with Java”. This chapter will give you an idea about this book and its content. This is fairly small and simple chapter to start with collaborating XML into your Flex applications. This chapter mainly focuses on how to use and manipulate XML data and integrate with Flex list based components using simple URLLoader class.

In this chapter you will learn basics of working with XML data using E4X techniques and various XML classes provided by Flex 3 E4X API. You will also learn how to load external XML documents and manipulate it in your Flex application. This chapter will also provide you a comprehensive example for building a book explorer application using external XML data and E4X techniques.

I hope this chapter will serve a good purpose for solving some of the most common question asked by many Flex developers on how to work with XML data in Flex.

“Flex 3 with Java” book includes such many more and advanced chapters that will get you started with Flex 3 programming. To know more about the content of this book download Table of Contents.

This book is available now and can be purchased from PackPub.com and Amazon.com.

Keep Flexing and enjoy reading.
