I seem to recall seeing this issue discussed, but can't find it right now...
I want to display properties of a sub-object of an object in my dataProvider as a column in my AdvancedDataGrid. The data is hierarchical. Something like (not the actual code): public class House{ public function House(){} public var rooms:ArrayCollection=new ArrayCollection /*contains names of rooms*/ public var data:HouseStats } public class HouseStats{ public function HouseStats(){} public var squareFeet:int public var address:String } I want to use an ArrayCollection containing objects of type House for the adg, (and use rooms as the childrenField). Primarily, I want to have columns for the data.squareFeet and data.address fields. I realize I could include these properties as part of the House object, but it's more complicated and I have reasons for wanting to keep things seperate.
