I am also facing a similar problem (atleast I think its similar :) ). I would like to provide my users with an option to hide/show columms. So, I provide a small popup with the column names with a scheckbox beside each. I was trying to make it work so that when the user unchecks a checkbox, the column gets hidden. But, since I am unable to access a single column through id, I am unable to do something like columnid.visible=false. :(

Thanks Dimitrios...yeah, that solution will solve my problem.

ALthough it doesn't seem ideal since I will have some of the same
columns stored in each Array. Oh well,as long as it's working right!?

How come the <mxml> tag DataGridColumn has an 'id' attribute though
but the programatic way does not? Seems odd.
