Ok, the code below calls a cfc that returns a query companies and
other company related information.
1) In the mx:Application tag I call a function initApp() which in
turn calls my remote object myService.getActive()
a) myService is the id of my remoteobject and getActive is the name
of the method which is also the function inside of my CFC on my
website at /Cleantech/admin_AllCompanies.cfc
2) I am handling the result (whatever is returned from my cfc inside
of the function resultHandler()
a) I am simply setting the result to an arraycollection that I've
made bindable called activeMembers
3) I've made activeMembers the dataProvider for my datagrid:
dataProvider="{activeMembers}"
a) Note the dataField properties match my column names from my CFC
query (and yes, capitalization counts here you must match the field
name)
4) I've also added a click handler for the datagrid that calls
function clickHandler()
5) Inside click handler I evaluate the value of companyID in the row
that was clicked and pass it on to a URLRequest which opens a new
browser window.
