This is great, it answered all of the nagging questions that were driving me crazy today. I am new to Flex and E4X, this stuff is way cool. I was hitting my head on most of your discussion points! This should be the start of 'the missing manual' for Flex. Thank you so much! This is great, it answered all of the nagging questions that were driving me crazy today.
