you would at least need to change the xml for these to work i think
 so 

<data1>Joe Doe</data1>
<data2>Anywhere USA</data2>
<data3>555-555- 5555</data3>

<mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{myXML}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn dataField="{myXML.contact.data}" 
headerText="{myXML.structure.data}"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>

Subject: [flexcoders] xml data in a datagrid

This is probably simple for those that aren't flex newbies but my 
flex books haven't arrived yet from Amazon and I am getting confused 
by reading and searching on the web. What I have are xml document 
that I don't control that describe their own structure. See the 
simplified sample below:

<xml>
<adml version="0">

<structure>
<header>Name< /header>
<header>Address< /header>
<header>Phone< /header>
</structure>

<contact>
<data>Joe Doe</data>
<data>Anywhere USA</data>
<data>555-555- 5555</data>
</contact>

<contact>
<data>Joe Doe</data>
<data>Anywhere USA</data>
<data>555-555- 5555</data>
</contact>

I want to make the <structure> elements the data grid column headers 
and have each of the <data> items rendered in the correct column. 
Can anyone provide a pointer as to how to proceed? Thanks!
