Hi Ben;
You can get this to work using the
labelFunction property of the DataGridColumn.
?xml
version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application
xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml
layout=absolute
mx:Script
![CDATA[
import
mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
import
mx.collections.XMLListCollection;
[
Bindable ]
public
var entries:XML =
rootNode
xmlns=http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata
Entry
CreateDate5/5/2006
9:56:30 AM/CreateDate
DocumentTypeRPR/DocumentType
/Entry
Entry
CreateDate5/3/2006 3:07:27
PM/CreateDate
DocumentTypeRPR/DocumentType
/Entry
/rootNode;
public
var ns : Namespace = new Namespace(
http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata );
public
function LabelFunctionDate( item : Object, column : DataGridColumn ) : String
{
return
XML( item ).ns::CreateDate[ 0 ].toString();
}
public
function LabelFunctionType( item : Object, column : DataGridColumn ) : String
{
return
XML( item ).ns::DocumentType[ 0 ].toString();
}
]]
/mx:Script
mx:DataGrid
id=myDataGrid x=10 y=247
width=536 height=230
dataProvider={entries.ns::Entry}
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn
headerText=Column 1
labelFunction=LabelFunctionDate/
mx:DataGridColumn
headerText=Column 2
labelFunction=LabelFunctionType/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid
/mx:Application

OK, I have posted several times now about problems
caused by having
namespaces in XML in Flex (specifically Beta 3), and have gotten
virtually no responses. Please, someone respond, even if to say I
have the same problem or this can't be done. I am beginning
to
think that Flex is simply not very capable in this area. I seriously
hope this is not the case.
Default namespaces seem to be the most problematic, as they seem to
prevent the XML from even being used as a DataProvider. Take this
simple setup.

var entries:XML =
rootNode xmlns=http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata

Entry
CreateDate5/3/2006 3:07:27 PM/CreateDate
DocumentTypeRPR/DocumentType
/Entry
/rootNode;
namespace d = http://site.com/Back/DocMetadata;
var list:XMLListCollection = new XMLListCollection(entries.d::Entry);
myDataGrid.dataProvider = list;
mx:DataGrid id=myDataGrid x=10 y=247
width=536 height=230
mx:columns
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Column 1
dataField=CreateDate/
mx:DataGridColumn headerText=Column 2
dataField=DocumentType/
/mx:columns
/mx:DataGrid

This results in the DataGrid being populated with 2 items, but there
is no text displayed. You simply have empty rollovers. However, if you
remove the namespace from the xml and update the AS accordingly,
everything works correctly, with text being displayed as expected. Is
this really a shortcoming of Flex or am I missing something really simple?
Thanks,
Ben
