Brian Connatser has created a great and very usefull tutorial on how to create a external XML feed to use with E4, Data Grids and more. The tutorial is very well set out and easy to follow. It does require from my opinion that you have atleast a basic coding knowledge and an intermidiate knowledge of how XML works.

“This tip will help you create an easy to use, re-usable class that will set up an external XML feed to use E4X, datagrids, etc. I didn’t change any variable names from my working code, so feel free to change them as needed as the variable names don’t relate to any particular thing… ”
