Not at all trivial, and most Flex developers hit this strubling block sooner or later.
When working with Flex list based components, you MUST work with the dataProvider. You cannot access data through the visual control, as you can with some environments. Exactly how you access the data depends on the type of dataProvider. Each type has an associated API, and you need to use this API to access the data. For example ArrayCollection has getItemAt(iIndex), so you could do: myCellValue = myDataGrid.dataProvider.getItemAt(0).myPropertyName; Tracy ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Nick Sent: Thursday, June 14, 2007 5:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Reading Data from an editiable Datagrid. Hello all! I have a DataGrid that I have associated (dataProvider) to a blank array that has been initialized as a collection of 5 objects with each object having 3 member variables. I have made my DataGrid editable and now have the ability to enter data into the 5 rows. I would now like to simply read this data back into my array for processing after the user has finished filling in the data. For some reason I am having a major block on how to accomplish this. I would love to just say something like: myData = myDataGrid.data trace(myData[0].col1Name) //traces the first row, first column data. but that does not seem to be working for me. Any clues? I have a feeling I am missing something trivial here. :) Thanks. Nick
