[flexcoders] Re: Accurate way of measuring a datagrid

If you can't get it to work, you could always use a Repeater instead. In this case, since you want to display all of the items, this would probably work out better. -TH --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tim Hoff" wrote: > > > Yeah, maybe not. Good luck; this is a co

[flexcoders] Re: multiple filters on XMLListCollection how?
