No, you should not use Arrays as dataProviders.  From the Migration.pdf: “Do not use raw Arrays or Objects in your dataProvider property if the data provider's values change. The control that displays the data will not get updated when the underlying data changes. Instead, convert your provider to an ArrayCollection class, as in the following example:”   Tracy From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of polestar11 Sent: Tuesday, July 04, 2006 10:01 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] [Junk E-Mail - LOW] Re: [Junk E-Mail - LOW] [flexcoders] Dat   --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED]ups.com, "Shannon Hicks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > According to the docs, dataChange fires when the value of the dataProvider > param changes. Now, to my best understanding, that means that if you > switched to a *different* dataProvider, the event would fire. I'm still confused. Is it not advisible to use arrays as dataProviders? I would like to use an array as a dataProvider for my dataGrid At some point I completely change the values of the array (therefore the dataProvider value changes) In my actual implementation I have a datagrid where the dataprovider references a bindable array in my model. When this value updates I hope to catch the dataChange event. Somewhere between a search request and response, the array gets updated: model.searchResultsList = Array(event.call.responseObject) My view references the updated value, which should fire tempFn(): <mx:DataGrid dataChange="tempFn()" dataProvider="{model.searchResultsList}" > <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Value" labelFunction="getText" /> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Result" dataField="result" /> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> Thanks for your time and patience Tracy __._,_.___ -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com YAHOO!
