"unable to bind to property 'last' on class 'XML' (class is not an IEventDispatcher)

[atoyebi9381]

I am using MXMLto create drop down menus and AS£ for other elements as the background. The MXML drop down works but debugging gives me this:"unable to bind to property 'last' on class 'XML' (class is not an IEventDispatcher)".

Also the AS3 does not display at all.

Thank you!

You need to use strongly typed classes for property binding.

package
{
[Bindable]
public class SomeModel
{

public var property1:String;

public var property2:String;
}
}

You can also use ObjectProxy, but it's easier, and more processor efficient, to use strongly typed classes.
