I tried something different and got it to work. Thanks for all your
help. For others searching, here's what I did. For those following
the thread, if there's a better way to do this, I welcome your
suggestions. (got the idea to try it this way from "Programming Flex
3. Kazoun, Lott)
relevant MXML snippets:
// as code that process the HTTPService return)
private function statResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
{
statFeed = event.result as XML;
var statCollection:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection;
for each (var rollup:XML in statFeed.children()) {
var period:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
for each (var country:XML in rollup.country) {
var code:String = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
var detects:int = [EMAIL PROTECTED];
statCollection.addItem({
rollup: period,
country: code,
quantity: detects
});
}
}
statGrouping = new GroupingCollection();
statGrouping.source = statCollection;
var grouping:Grouping = new Grouping();
grouping.fields = [new GroupingField("rollup")];
statGrouping.grouping = grouping;
statGrouping.refresh();
}
The ADG mxml:
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid
id="myDataGrid"
dataProvider="{statGrouping}"
width="50%"
height="75%"
verticalCenter="0" left="0">
<mx:groupedColumns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Period"
dataField="@period"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Country"
dataField="country"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Detects"
dataField="quantity"/>
</mx:groupedColumns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
