There are other ways but here what I am doing:
<mx:FormItem width="100%" direction="horizontal" label="First Name"
required="true">
<mx:TextInput id="firstname"
focusOut="formatNames(firstname)"
text="{badgelist.selectedIndex==-1 ?
XML(badgelist.dataProvider.getItemAt(0)).firstname :
XML(badgelist.dataProvider.getItemAt(badgelist.selectedIndex)).firstname}"
width="100" restrict="A-z"/>
</mx:FormItem>
where badgelist is my DataGrid.
When form loads DG has first row highlighted and first row is detailed. Then
everytime you change selection you get new details shown.
Not sure if my code is the one to learn from but the approach works very well
for me.
