I'm getting the Soap response from a weather webservice. I can see the XML
string in the
Soap body using Alert.show. But when I tried to retrieve the data inside the
XML, I got nothing.

[Bindable] private var xmlResult:XML;
private function getResult(event:ResultEvent):void {
xmlResult = new XML(event.result);
Alert.show(xmlResult.toXMLString()); //This line shows the
soap body. Please see below.
var xml_list:XMLList = xmlResult.GetCityWeatherByZIPResult;
Alert.show(xml_list.toXMLString()); //This line shows
nothing.
}

I also tried {xmlResult..City}, but it returns nothing.

This is what I see in the first Alert window:
<GetCityWeatherByZIPResponse xmlns="http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelo pe/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Q14

I changed my code a little bit:

[Bindable] private var xmlResult:XML;
private function getResult(event:ResultEvent):void {
xmlResult = new XML(event.result);
Alert.show(xmlResult.toXMLString());
var xml:XML = xmlResult.GetCityWeatherByZIPResult[0];
Alert.show(xml.toXMLString()); //This line throws null point exception.
}

The Debugger shows xml is null.
Why the dot notation is not working here.

Amy, I tried your suggestion in FAQ, but it does not help.

I hard coded

[Bindable] private var xmlResult:XML=
<GetCityWeatherByZIPResponse
xmlns="http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelo pe/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<GetCityWeatherByZIPResult>
<Success>true</Success>
<ResponseText>City Found</ResponseText>
<State>TX</State>
<City>Houston</City>
<WeatherStationCity>Houston</WeatherStationCity>
<WeatherID>10</WeatherID>
<Description>Mostly Sunny</Description>
<Temperature>73</Temperature>
<RelativeHumidity>42</RelativeHumidity>
<Wind>SW9</Wind>
<Pressure>29.78F</Pressure>
<Visibility/>
<WindChill>0</WindChill>
<Remarks/>
</GetCityWeatherByZIPResult>
</GetCityWeatherByZIPResponse>;

I found it is because e4x can not correctly parse the first line:

<GetCityWeatherByZIPResponse xmlns="http://ws.cdyne.com/WeatherWS/"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelo pe/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Bug or virus in my FB3?

Clearly not, since you are _still_ trying to reference the root node (which
is already the same thing as xmlResult). Try reading it again for
comprehension.

I tried both

var xml:XML=xmlResult.City and xmlResult..City

Neither of them worked. Both gave xml = null in Debugger.
