The return type of selectedItem is Object, so he's casting to the correct type.
For the time being I believe your ResourceVO has to be made dynamic or implement the IUID interface. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ted Patrick Sent: Wednesday, April 12, 2006 2:48 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [flexcoders] programatically assigning an ArrayCollection as the DataProvider bug... JB, Why are you casting dg.selectedItem when it is already is a ResourceVO? The selectedItem value is the item passed into the addItem method. ArrayCollection has events to support updating a view (DataGrid, List, ComboBox). This can be accessed through the component itself or via the dataProvider property. Try this: private function init():void{ var obj1:ResourceVO = new ResourceVO(); obj1.value = "foo-0"; obj1.key = "bar-0"; dg.addItem( obj1 ); var obj2:ResourceVO = new ResourceVO(); obj2.value = "foo-1"; obj2.key = "bar-1"; dg.addItem(obj2); var obj3:ResourceVO = new ResourceVO(); obj3.value = "foo-2"; obj3.key = "bar-2"; dg.addItem(obj3); } When dataProvider is set, the passed object is wrapped by an ArrayCollection depending on what is passed. If an Array is passed, this becomes the 'source' property of the ArrayCollection. You may be seeing a side effect of an ArrayCollection being passed into an ArrayCollection via the dataProvider set operation. By default, the dataGrid already has a ArrayCollection and using addItem on the DataGrid (dg) will make things simpler internally. I also do not think that the "dataObj" variable needs to be [bindable] here and might be a source of an error. ArrayCollection is a funky class as it extends Proxy via ListCollectionView. Proxy allows the entire DataProvider API to be a façade allowing control over iteration via the Proxy.nextName, Proxy.nextNameIndex, and Proxy.nextValue at a low level. My gut feel is that the code can be simpler and accomplish identical results. Cheers, Cynergy Systems, Inc.

However, the blue selection highlight doesn't move off of the last item in the list! I have also sceen this issue in a ComboBox. Any ideas as to why this is happening? -JB -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
