I think the reason for this is that any access of the columns property returns a *copy* of that array. So when you make changes to a column, like columns[0].dataField=whatever, you are working on a copy of the column.
That last assignment, dg.columns = cols;, puts the copy back in the property.

Anyway the important thing for now is that it works. -D --- In [email protected] <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I would try: > > > > Var cols:Array = dg.columns; > > dg.columns = cols; >
