Thanks Doug I thought there had to be a better approach to this. The Cover Flow is really cool although for what I am using it for it may not be the best application, but will wait until I get the sizes of all the other panels figured out. Panel sizes are getting a little to large for the coolness effects.
I will be at 360Flex for sure, and glad to hear it was coming to Atlanta. Should be two good months of info with Ben then the 360Flex. Looking forward to it.

This event does not get fired when clicking the header. Doug's coverflow stuff is wicked kewl, eh? Slick to use a viewstack. Only thing I don't like is its tied to a Panel, but I'm sure that's changeable. Fro those that have not seen it check out this URL: http://dougmccune.com/blog/2007/11/19/flex-coverflow-performance-improvement-flex-carousel-component-and-vertical-coverflow/ watch that wrap! Doug will be speaking at 360Flex in Atlanta too, be sure to check him out.

Most probably already know this, but I also know there are several out there that are just getting into flex and thought this may help if you run into this situation. Flex 2.0 plugin on Eclipse 3.2 Converting an existing CF reporting app to Flex. Layout: 1 to x panels via Doug McCunes "CoverFlow" (very cool Doug thanks) This is like the album cover flow in ITunes. Panel 1 (initial panel) has a start date, end date and button. Populates panel 1's datagrid. Each datagrid's result set has to be sortable and row click to next panel. When selected row is clicked a click event fires to populate the next panels datadrid and also fires the transition to move to the next panel. Initial issue: on panel 1 sorting works. Clicking on selected row worked and moved to next panel. Going back to panel 1 we can still click on row and fire event, but clicking on headers to sort fired off the event again passing the wrong parameters to the next panel. I was sending in a mouse event on the click handler of the datagrid since that made since to me to fire it on the mouse click. (wrong) First try was to test for the selected index to make sure it wasn't on the header. After several failed attempts I realized I needed to test the row index which isn't available in the mouse event. The solution was to a List event from the itemClick in the datagrid. This allowed me to test the row index in the click handler with a simple "if statement" and solve this issue.
