Specifically, I need to resize a column to fit tight around the text that is
extracted from
the dataProvider using the labelFunction:
<mx:DataGridColumn
fontFamily="Courier"
labelFunction="get_text"
resizable="false"/>
And the function inside a <Script> block:
private function get_text(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String
{
return item.elements('text').text();
}
The text in all rows of this column will be the same number of characters. It
would be
convenient to be able to add statements to the above get_text() routine like so:
var str:String = item.elements('text').text();
column.width = str.length * charWidth;
return str;
But this does not work. Any ideas?
