Data binding (Flash Professional only) 397
The following illustration shows the Schema tab for the XMLConnector component used in
“Creating a simple application” on page 391. The top pane shows the bindable properties for
the
xmlConn instance, with the food:Array property selected, and the bottom pane shows
the settings for the
food:Array property.
A component’s schema describes the structure and type of data but is independent of how the
data is actually stored. For example, the results from a WebServiceConnector component or
an XMLConnector component could have identical schemas, even though the web service
results are stored as ActionScript data structures (objects, arrays, strings, Boolean values, and
numbers), and the XMLConnector component results are stored as XML objects. When you
use data binding to access fields within a component’s schema, you use the same procedure
regardless of how the data is stored.
