Hello,

I am trying to figure out how to convert an XMLList that I retreived from an
XML instance back into well-formed XML in Flash CS3. Here is what I am doing.
- I have an XML document loaded and I am displaying the contents in a datagrid
component (which is working well).
- I am then filtering the XML to obtain a subset of data by first obtaining an
XMLList representing all elements of my XML instance and then filtering the
list on a particular element (this is working well).
- Now I want to display my filtered results in the datagrid and here lies the
problem because the datagrid can't use an XMLList as a dataprovider. How do I
convert this XMLList back into well formed XML so I can use it as my grid's
dataprovider?  I need to somehow get a root tag back on.

Could I somehow use toXMLString() and then convert that to XML?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

TH
