The answer depends on what you plan to do with the rating? Are you storing the rating somewhere? Sending it to the server? Normally, you will need to keep track of that field somewhere on the client and the best place is in your data, so adding a field to FileReference via subclassing or aggregation (a new class that contains a FileReference plus a new field) is recommended.

These files are fileReferences that are selected by a user browsing the system. After the select a file the data shows the name/ext/size. What I want is a 4th column for the user to select a value from the drop down. I get an error with the code below because there is no default value. I am not sure how I would go about this because the fileReference object does not hold this data so I can not give it a dataField. I am sure this is because Im a new, any help is appreciated! <mx:DataGrid id="dgFiles" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{_files}" editable="true"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="File Name" dataField="name" editable="false"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="File Type" dataField="extension" editable="false"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="File Size" dataField="size" labelFunction="bytesToKilobytes" editable="false"/> <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Rating" editable="true"> <mx:itemEditor> <mx:Component> <mx:ComboBox editable="true"> <mx:dataProvider> <mx:String>1</mx:String> <mx:String>2</mx:String> <mx:String>3</mx:String> <mx:String>4</mx:String> <mx:String>5</mx:String> </mx:dataProvider> </mx:ComboBox> </mx:Component> </mx:itemEditor> </mx:DataGridColumn> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> -- Thank You Dan
