I have reduced my problem down to the event childIndexChanged not firing, or not working as expected. I have example code below which illustrates the problem.
I click on a cell, the event cellPress is fired and displays data in the xyz label. What I want also to happen is if I use the up or down arrow keys to move to a different row in the grid, then the same logic as the cellPress event is required. I implemented this via the childIndexChanged event, but it does not fire. I also tried the events focusIn and cellFocusIn but they dont work. The selectedIndex value has changed, which can be seen in label abc. I know in the example below that I can use data binding to get the results, but in my own Flex app, I need an AS function do do a lot more besides displaying a bit of data. Example code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:DataGrid id="musicGrid" cellPress="xyz.text=musicGrid.selectedItem.Album" childIndexChanged="xyz.text=musicGrid.selectedItem.Album"> <mx:dataProvider> <mx:Array> <mx:Object Artist="Pavement" Price="11.99" Album="Slanted and Enchanted" /> <mx:Object Artist="Pavement" Album="Brighten the Corners" Price="11.99" /> <mx:Object Artist="Test" Album="Flex" Price="0.99" /> </mx:Array> </mx:dataProvider> <mx:columns> <mx:Array> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="Album" /> <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="Price" /> </mx:Array> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> <mx:Label text="Album" id="xyz" /> <mx:Label text="{musicGrid.selectedIndex}" id="abc" /> </mx:Application> Andrew
