Tracy from FlexCoders advises against using lastResult. This property is intended for use in binding expressions, and you cannot depend on its value when you access it in AS code (though it usually works).

Note that if you ever decide to use binding instead of directly assigning the dataProvider, do not use XMLList because it is not bindable. Wrapt that in an XMLListCollection instead.

var xmlResult:XML = XML(event.result);
 
trace(xmlResult.toXMLString());  //So you know how to write the xmllist expression
 
var xlJobs:XMLList = xmlResult.job;
 
trace(xlJobs.length());  //is this number what you expect?
 
datagrid.dataProvider = xlJobs;
