Populating a graphics layer with XML data

[MikeLowe]

Hi,

I am trying to populate a GraphicsLayer with coordinates stored in an external XML file. I was wondering if this was possible, preferably without extending the GraphicsLayer component.

Yes, this is similar to this sample:

You need to create Graphics with Geometries that you then add to a GraphicsLayer.

Mike,

I attached a demo flex project archive and a test XML file.  The code came from here.

Thanks guys, I figured it out soon after I posted this. I simply set up an HTTPService which creates graphics based on the X and Y fields of the XML file when the ResultEvent is fired.
