Chapter 10. GATHERING AND DISPLAYING DATA

Few applications are complete without using some form of data. That is especially true with the advent of web applications. Just think of the web applications you may be using frequently.

Whether the information you send and receive is stored in an XML file, stored in a database, or gathered from one of the many Web services available, you can be sure that, with Flex, connecting to and displaying data is straightforward and simple.
