Re: [flexcoders] DadtaGrid Distress

[Graham Weldon]

Hi Faisal, Initially, I would modify your HTTPService to say: <mx:HTTPService     id = "stock"     url= ""http://finance.yahoo.com/rss/headline?s=%7Bticker.text%7D">http://finance.yahoo.com/rss/headline?s={ticker.text}"     useProxy = "false"     resultFormat="e4x"/> The addition of this e4x result format will ensure that you can deal with it nicely in ActionScript as XML Objects. Secondly, Your HTTPService columns are referencing dataField="col1", col2 and col3. Your dataProvider points to the element stock.result => this is the returned XML. stock.result.rss.channel.item is an OK reference as well, and looking at the Yahoo! RSS feed, all you will need to do is alter the dataFields in the DataGrid. The RSS Feed has a couple of elements you might want to use: <mx:DataGrid     dataProvider = "{stock.result.rss.channel.item}"     id = "dg"     showHeaders = "true"     <mx:columns>         <mx:DataGridColumn             headerText="Title"             dataField="title"/>         <mx:DataGridColumn             headerText="Title"             dataField="pubDate"/>     </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> This datagrid and columns will get the TITLE and PUBLISHED DATE from the RSS feed and display them in the datagrid. You could then (if you are trying to create an RSS Reader of sorts) create a text area that is bound to the selected item from the datagrid, and read the description element, or source the associated link and display that content. Best of luck with it, and I hope this was useful.
