I would think about the datastructure u use... an Array of mixed content is not necessarily the optimum. I for example would create a new datatype.
If u need a certain formatted renderer even for complex data: implement an itemrenderer. A simple approach is to implementing a component which implements the necessary interfaces. Depending on the given column, the specific information is displayed. U can simply determine what should be displayed in the "set data". Just lookup for the column and display what should be displayed. If u need fewer or lesser columns, use ActionScript.
