4. Use the Bindings tab of the Component inspector to bind data elements (params and
results) from the XML document to properties of the visual components in your
application.
For example, you can connect to an XML document that provides weather data and bind
the Location and Temperature data elements to label components in your application.
The name and temperature of a specified city appears in the application at runtime.
5. Add a trigger to initiate the data binding operation by using one of the following methods:
■ Attach the Trigger Data Source behavior to a button.
■ Add your own ActionScript to call the trigger() method on the XMLConnector
component.
■ Create a binding between an XML parameter and a UI control and set its Kind
property to AutoTrigger. For more information, see “Schema kinds” in Using Flash.
For a step-by-step example that connects and displays XML using the XMLConnector
component, see “XML Tutorial: Timesheet” in the Data Integration tutorials at
www.macromedia.com/go/data_integration.
