I am working on an app with a datagrid and button where the user will
click a button to display a titlewindow with various intput boxes to
populate rows in the datagrid. At the moment I can only get one
object to populate (the very first column and no others) the dg. My
question is how can I pass multiple text input box objects back to my
app from the titlewindow via my dispatch events and populate each
column in my dg with the text inputs from the Titlewindow?
Also, is there a way to auto select the first index of a datagrid so
it is highlighted when the app loads? I tried
initilaize="{myDG.selectedIndex = 0}" with no luck.
Any suggestions?
Here is my code:
****************************************
main app
****************************************
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function showPopUp():Void{
var myPopUp = new Object();
myPopUp.lessonsLearned = dgLessonsLearned.selectedItem.lessonsLearned;
myPopUp.needToKnow = dgLessonsLearned.selectedItem.needToKnow;
myPopUp.shareInfo = dgLessonsLearned.selectedItem.shareInfo;
var t:Object = TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this, llPopUp,
false, lessonsPopUp, false));
t.addEventListener("lessonsLearnedUpdate", this);
t.addEventListener("needToKnowUpdate", this);
t.addEventListener("shareInfoUpdate", this);
}
public function handleEvent(evt:Object):Void { //does not populate
datagrid row :(
if (evt.type == "lessonsLearnedUpdate")
dgLessonsLearned.replaceItemAt(dgLessonsLearned.selectedIndex,
{lessonsLearned: evt.Result});
if (evt.type == "needToKnowUpdate" )
dgLessonsLearned.replaceItemAt(dgLessonsLearned.selectedIndex,
{needToKnow: evt.Result});
if (evt.type == "shareInfoUpdate" )
dgLessonsLearned.replaceItemAt(dgLessonsLearned.selectedIndex,
{shareInfo: evt.Result});
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:DataGrid id="dgLessonsLearned">
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="lessonsLearned"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="needToKnow"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn columnName="shareInfo"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
<mx:Button label="Add New Entry" click="showPopUp()" />
****************************************
TitleWindow component
****************************************
<mx:Metadata>
[Event("lessonsLearnedUpdate")]
[Event("needToKnowUpdate")]
[Event("shareInfoUpdate")]
</mx:Metadata>

<![CDATA[
public var lessonsLearned:String;
public var needToKnow:String;
public var shareInfo:String;
public function updateText(txtLessonsLearned:String,
txtNeedToKnow:String, txtShareInfo:String):Void{
dispatchEvent({type:"lessonsLearnedUpdate",
Result:txtLessonsLearned});
dispatchEvent({type:"needToKnowUpdate",
Result:txtNeedToKnow});
dispatchEvent({type:"shareInfoUpdate",
Result:txtShareInfo});
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HBox width="100%">
