Hello. I am very new to Flex -- and we're running the 2.0 Beta now,
knowing that we'll have to migrate to it eventually -- and was never
an enterprise-class ActionScript developer in Flash anyway, so
forgive me if my two questions seem very simple to some of you.
Nevertheless, I haven't seen a satisfactory answer to either
question here, or anywhere else online.
First question -- how could I dynamically generate an array of
DataGridColumns? Suppose I have the following:
<mx:DataGrid id="grid_01">
<mx:dataProvider>{ someProvider }</mx:dataProvider>
.....
</mx:DataGrid>
and, in place of those "dots," I'd want to have the following
results returned from "someProvider":
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="gridcol_01" headerText="First
Column" textAlign="middle" />
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="gridcol_02" headerText="Second
Column" textAlign="middle" />
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="gridcol_03" headerText="Third
Column" textAlign="middle" />
<mx:DataGridColumn etc. />
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
Could someone provide me with sample code for how to build out the
data provider so that those results might be returned?
Lastly, coming from a mouseDown/getURL sensibility in Flash, I'm a
little mystified by the way in which DataGrid cells -- or rows, in
my case -- can simply serve as links. In my case, I'd want a rolled-
over row to call a different viewstack when clicked. Obviously, if
I'm generating the DataGrid dynamically, I won't have an automatic
reference to anything in my Datagrid within MXML. Also, I believe I
need to generate a cellRenderer to accomplish
a "stack.selectedChild=nameofstack" result for what is (to me) a
souped-up link. I've seen cellRenderer do impressive dynamic tricks,
EXCEPT linking to something! And, to reiterate, I'm looking to have
an entire row be a hyperlink, much as the DataGrid allows for a
rollover state for rows and would, from our users' perspective, be
seen as results of a search, arranged into a handy grid -- and rows
that should link to something else when clicked.
Any help that could be provided would be very much appreciated.
Thank you for your attention.
James
