I'm starting to make some progress with your help. I've changed my
xml output and incorporated Alex and Tracy's suggestions. I can now
see data in the ADG but its not quite what I expected. Here's the
what I get:
Period Country Detects
2008-12-04 03:00:00 PHGBMYDK 121341022
2008-12-04 04:00:00 AUGBMY 39211
The Source XML is:
<dashboard>
<rollup period="2008-12-04 03:00:00">
<country code="PH" detects="12" />
<country code="GB" detects="134" />
<country code="MY" detects="102" />
<country code="DK" detects="2" />
</rollup>
<rollup period="2008-12-04 04:00:00">
...
</rollup>
</dashboard>
My MXML fragrements of interest are:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid
id="myDataGrid"
dataProvider="{statFeed.rollup}"
width="50%"
height="75%"
verticalCenter="0" left="0">
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Period" dataField="@period"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Country"
labelFunction="getCountryCode"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Detects"
labelFunction="getCountryDetects"/>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
The functions getCountryDetects and getCountryCode are the same as
your label function (changed to appropriate label names.)
What I want is that each rollup period have a "spinner" that contains
a row for each country that displays the detects during that period.
For example, using the above data:
Period: Country Detects
* 2008-12-04 03:00:00
PH 12
GB 134
Many thanks for all the help...
