I don’t have any great suggestions
if DataGrid and Repeater won’t cut it for you. But have you checked out
CF 7 and its reporting capabilities? J Matt From: Robert
Brueckmann [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] What would be the best way to take XML
from the database and output it to the screen in a way that would look like an
exploded datagrid, static, in tabular format? Is this possible?
I’m just playing with some ideas of utilizing Flex for displaying dynamically
generated data in a report-like format…right now I really came up with
quite a hack that utilizes a 3rd party reporting engine (which is
terrible and we paid a lot of money for) to generate a PDF report from XML using
these horrendous templates you have to create using their ridiculously crappy
report designer, and then I spawn a process from Weblogic that takes this
newly-created PDF and converts it to a SWF using yet another 3rd
party utility (luckily, open-source) and then I get back the path to the newly
converted SWF report and display that in a Loader component within my Flex
application. It works and generates some pretty decent reports but
it’s a nightmare to maintain (mainly due to the 3rd party
report engine)…so I’d really like to harness as much power from
Flex as possible. Ideally, I just like to be able to send
the XML DIRECTLY to my Flex app and just simply build a table with this XML
data…maybe throw some alternating row colors in there. I
don’t want it to be in a datagrid because printing is a little quirky in
the datagrid...is there a way to do this? I’ve noticed in some of
the other things I’ve done in my application that the Repeater component
kind of gets slow real quickly if you add much complexity to it…so
I’m guessing this probably isn’t a valid option right now given the
youth of Flex. Thanks, Rob Robert L. Brueckmann Senior Web Developer Merlin Securities, LLC p: 212.822.4821 This message contains information
