How do i use BindingUtils.bindProperty with XML variables?

[magquatre]

this is essentially what im trying to figure out:

var tree:Tree = new Tree();
[Bindable] var my_xml:XML = 
    <my_xml>
        <node id=1/>
        <node id=2/>
    </mx_xml>;

BindingUtils.bindProperty(tree, "dataProvider", this, "my_xml");

This does not work. is it not possible to bind to "dataProvider"? If i wasnt binding, i would have to do this everytime my_xml changed. which is what im trying to avoid

tree.dataProvider = my_xml;

Im sorry, i just tested the code below again and it seemed to have worked perfectly fine!

great!

This won't save you from having to reassign every time the xml changes. Only ICollectionView objects will work with data binding as a data provider.
