Tracy,
after some search and tests i found: - labelFunction indeed works. But it is a "implicit workaround" for one limitation of the actionscript 3 and not the Datagrid itself. (there is one line of code inside the datagrid class that take the data using: data = data[dataField] and if dataField isn't a leaf of a xml, this isn't rigth evaluated ) - if we use the labelFunction, than re-sort with clicking on the datagridcolumn doesn't work anymore. So we need to code sorting too. - another way to solve this problem is to extend datagrid and code the proper workaround OR give the data already on a format datagrid likes (like greenfishinwaterr made ) i cant use the solution of greenfishinwater because there are already too code on the servlets (and i dont want the idea of having a strange response xml format without any nested data) so i extend my datagrid and coded the labelFunction inside the new class. it all works... but if data[dataField] evaluates rigth as we expect, too much people using datagrids would not need to code labelFunction for basic nested data manipulatiuons (i understand this function is great and have to be there... but if i would need some column that are calculations of another or something like that.. not to fetch nested data). did you know when they will release a Flex 2.0.1 with some fixes? did you know if xml evaluator like data[dataField] (when dataField is something like [EMAIL PROTECTED]) will be improved someday?
