Yes, and I'll go a step further. Reading from a DataGrid directly is practically impossible.
What is your back-end platform, the target of your HTTPService call? I think I would not advise a separate call for each row, though HTTPService seems very fast and this will probably work ok. But it just "feels" wrong to torture the internet connection like that. Instead, build an xml string that has the necessary information to build the (SQL?) insert or update queries fo all the rows, post that to the HTTPService, and on the server, either build that SQL query or even call parameterized stored procedures. I have even built the SQL itself in Flex and just passed it through the business tier to the database. This method has potential performance and security issues however.

Instead, you should iterate over the DataGrid's dataProvider to access the data. The exact syntax for that will depend on what you're using as your dataProvider, but assuming its an ArrayCollection or XMLListCollection you should be able to just use a for each loop and make your HTTPService calls from there.
