Anthony -
This should be simple enough using a custom item renderer
<http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/quickstart/using_item_renderers/> with
view states
<http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/2/docs/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context=LiveDocs_Parts&file=00000923.html>
(summary and expaneded in your case). The renderer has a method set
data(value:Object):void that you will implement... the value that is
being passed to you will be one object from your grids data provider
(XML in your case). Your renderer can have multiple <mx:State> states
defined, so when the user clicks on the renderer you can simply toggle
which state it is in.

Hello Everyone,
I am creating an application that will receive XML formatted data and
display it in a datagrid. The data received will be subject, date,
time, and information. The datagrid will show subject, date, and time
and when the user clicks on it, I need the information in the datagrid
to expand down and display the 'information' part. Basically, I'd like
it to work exactly like Google Reader does but with different
information and I want to do it in Flex and not AJAX.
I know this can be done but, being new to Flex, I have no idea how to
make the datagrid do the slideout/slidedown with the new information.
Can anyone help?
Thank You,
Anthony Papillion
