Hi,
I am using Yahoo Local Search Service which returns the XML response. I want
to retrieve data from the XML that I received. I stuck at this point and unable
to retrieve the response in to datagrid. Does the namespaces in XML matter
while retrieving data?
The response XML is as follows

<ResultSet xsi:schemaLocation="urn:yahoo:lcl
http://api.local.yahoo.com/LocalSearchService/V3/L ocalSearchResponse.xsd"
totalResultsAvailable="224" totalResultsReturned="1" firstResultPosition="1"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="urn:yahoo:lcl">

<ResultSetMapUrl>http://maps.yahoo.com/broadband/?q1=...A+95112&amp;tt
=starbucks&amp;tp=1</ResultSetMapUrl>
<Result id="21590724">
<Title>Starbucks</Title>
<Address>145 W Santa Clara St</Address>
<City>San Jose</City>
<State>CA</State>

<LastReviewIntro>My previous review had incorrect data. That was not
true, I am sorry, I didn't know. As far as food and drink goes, Starbucks is
pretty good.</LastReviewIntro>

</ResultSet>

The code that I am writing to get Title and Address is as follows.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<mx:Script>

public function requestWeather():void {
weatherService.cancel();
var params:Object = new Object();
params.appid = "YahooDemo";
params.query = "starbucks";
params.zip = "95112";
params.results = "1"
weatherService.send(params);
}

public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
myResult = XML( event.result);
temp = myResult.Result;
list = ArrayCollection(event.result);
}
]]>
</mx:Script>

</mx:columns>
</mxataGrid>
<mx:Label text="Response as it is"/>
<mx:TextArea id="resultFld" text="{myResult}" width="400" height="152"/>


</mx:Application>


Can somebody help me to find where I am going wrong?

Thank you

Hi Pranay,

It looks like your problem is indeed to do with the XML namespace being used.

Try adding this line after the import statements:

namespace yahoo = "urn:yahoo:lcl";

(This is the namespace URI defined in the returned XML)

The result handler should then look like this:

public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void {
use namespace yahoo;
myResult = XML( event.result);
temp = myResult.Result;
list = ArrayCollection(event.result);
}
