Hi! I wanna create different kinds of table inside my flex application like pivot tables, but without data processing as OLAP cube does. So, I spend some time looking for (googling) solutions about how to include tables inside flex applications. I'm a little confuse aboud which solution I should take, so I will present here the solutions that I found and considering and some quotes about them:
1) Pivot table component or OLAP CUBE It solution show the information in the same way that I want, but I don't want to reprocess the information creating queries, filters and so... It look like huge and complex component just for present information without data processing. 2) Iframe-flex This solution seemed to be a good solution because, with the Iframe, I could put my data in a simple html table struture but, as I was expecting, the behavior has a trade-off : " It will hide any flash content that enters the area bounded by the IFrame." (source: iframe-flex faq). 3) Alex's solution ( http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/html_and_flex_1.html) It seem a good solution for presenting html, I didn't test it yet. Is there someone working on this solution It? Or using it? you know, this post is from 2008 and as I could see the project site was drop. 4) DataGrid and AdvancedDataGrid It presents a good solution for tables, simple tables, drag and drop columns, ordering columns, etc. But It is not so good for present a simple pivot table, with columns or lines in different styles. :-( Which solution would be the best to show a custom table? Is there any other solution for custom tables? tnks a lot Ivan Perez
