If you take a look at the methods available inside of the combo and list box components included with Macromedia Flash MX, you'll see that they have a curious method called setDataProvider. The actual documentation for this method recommends that users just pass an array to the method, which will be used to fill the component.

XML was introduced as a means of freeing the languages we use to define the data we traffic in. Since XML is more a way of defining data rather than a strict method of defining data, there have been many *MLs introduced in an effort to best define the data particular to a given industry. While this massive effort to define data is laudable, we need to remember that sometimes it doesn't really matter how we define it, as long as all of the members of the conversation understand the language that is being spoken. To this end Flash's XMLSocket object works wonders.
