Yes that example in that other reply will show you how to do this, but I want to make a key idea very clear.
When working with data, one never (almost) "loops over the DataGrid". One always works with the underlying dataProvider. This is because Flex only creates the visible rows. When you scroll, or change the data, the data from the underlying dataProvider item is assigned to the itemRenderer, and the renderer must use that data to update its UI. In your case, the itemRender must set the CheckBox.selected property from a value in the dataProvider item. Google "Harui itemRenderer" to find a full discussion and many examples.

This checks whether the row data will be sent to the server or not. Rather than forcing the user to check all of the rows manually, I have a "Select All" button which commands the selection of all the checkboxes in that column. My problem is that I can't write the code to implement the selection. It is AS code most likely, but I could not find an example going through docs/forums/whatever. How do I loop over the DataGridColumn object to get the CheckBox instances ? Can anyone point me to useful examples/references ?
