You do not have an option with the syntax. It must be:
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn

Subject: [flexcoders] Trying to use a mx:model populated by XML file and
then as source to ArrayCollection to populate datagrid
I'm learning Flex 2 and I'm trying to get this example to work and I'm
about to give up. My datagrid comes up empty. It works fine when I hard
code the data in an array inside a datarovider within the mx:DataGrid
tags I also tried putting the DataGridColumns inside of Array tags. No
joy, nothing but empty datagrid.
I'm running on XP using IE and using Flex 2 in the Eclipse IDE.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
<http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml> "
layout="absolute">
<mx:Model id="animalList" source="pets.xml">
</mx:Model>
<mx:ArrayCollection id="anListAC"
source="{animalList.animals.pet}"/>
<mx:DataGrid x="75" y="98" dataProvider = "{anListAC}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Type" dataField="anType"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Name" dataField="anName"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Living"
dataField="anLiving"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Application>
This is the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<animals>
<pet>
<anType>Cat</anType>
<anName>GoldenBoy</anName>
<anLiving>Yes</anLiving>
</pet>
</animals>
Thanks in advance
Christina
