First I think you're confused about the semantics of ArrayCollection... it is not a collection of arrays, but rather a Collection interface wrapper on a single array.
When you define the dataProvider statically in mxml the way you did, what you're doing is creating a single array of Objects (each object having 3 properties) So you want to do the same thing with the ArrayCollection in code... var dp:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection(); var o:Object = new Object(); o.Poll="Do You Like Law And Order"; o.Number="53"; o.owner="batanga/jumpman" o.type="1"; dp.addItem(o); dgFeatured1.dataProvider = dp; GoodLuck!
