Similarly, since you are repeating a custom component, you could implement a public property on the component to hold the index, using a setter function. Pass the repeater.currentIndex into the component via that property, and have the setter function use the passed in index retrieve the secondary value from wherever you want.
If the secondary data source is not indexed, but rather keyed, like an associative array or a dictionary, use the same idea. Either pass in the required key value from currentItem, or, as I advise, pass a reference to the entire dataProvider item into the component, via a setter. Finally, depending on your data, you could use a hierarchical dataProvider, like XML, or nested collections. Pass the entire currentItem into the component, and the child data will be available for whatever you need.

The trick is to use {index of currentItem} and not currentIndex, as currentIdex will fail when used with your secondary data source. Try this (just an example): Assumes your have * "dp1" -> your primary data source (collection) * "dp2" -> your secondary data source (collection) <mx:Repeater id="theRepeater" dataProvider="{dp1}"> <mx:Panel id="thePanel" label="{dp2.getItemAt( dp1.getItemIndex(theRepeater.currentItem ) )}"> <mx:Text text="{theRepeater.currentItem}" /> </mx:Panel> </mx:Repeater> Hope that helps. =) Mike ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of jitendra jain Sent: Thursday, August 28, 2008 1:30 PM To: flex group flex Subject: [flexcoders] Repeater Component Hi friends, I have one repeater component that dynamically constructs a Check box and two input boxes using a masterDataProvider(array collection). Now i have another data provider childDataProvider(array collection). How can i assign values of childDataProvider to repeater ?? Please help.
