I have a vo headlineVO that has the following variables headline_id:Number headline:String effdate:Date endeffdate:Date actionuser:String actiondate:Date I have a cfc that returns an ArrayCollection of beans, each bean has the above variables too. I can populate a datagrid with this data and it shows fine. I'm trying to populate a new vo (currentVO) when the user selects a row and hits "edit". The new VO shows as being null in the debugger. This is what my code looks like
<mx:DataGrid id="headlinesDG" dataProvider="{MyModel.getInstance().adminARCHeadlines}" click="selectedHeadline" ... ... </mx:DataGrid> above I have a function private function selectedHeadline():void { currentVO = headlinesDG.selectedItem as headlineVO; } and for the editButton.click I have another function that just Alert the currentVO.headline; I get a null object reference when I click on the edit Button. If I put a breakpoint above the Alert I can see that currentVO is null, how can I assign that selected row to my vo? Can anyone offer suggestions or things I should check? Thanks in advance!
