Yes. I think that will give the automatic column generation functionality a
problem.
I think you should manually loop over the repeat nodes, and for each,
populate a value object with strongly typed properties assigned the values
from the appropriate feature and value nodes. Your code to make the
assignment will have to use the positional syntax instead of e4x filters.
For example in psuedocode:
Var voRepeat: RepeatVO;
For each(var xmlItem:XML in root.repeat) {
voRepeat = new RepeatVO();
voRepeat.featue1 = xmlItem.feature[0].text();
voRepeat.featue2 = xmlItem.feature[1].text();
voRepeat.value1 = xmlItem.value[0].text();
.
myArrayCollection.addItem(voRepeat)
}
MydataGrid.dataProvider = myArrayCollection;

Subject: [SPAM] Re: [SPAM] [flexcoders] e4x to Datagrid not removing the
tags when rendered
Thank you for taking the time to answer my question and explaining the
datagrid dataprovider. I think what what problem is the way the xml I am
importing is formatted. The root node is the name of the xml, then I have
the repeating node. Within the repeating node I have data that needs to go
in the datagrid. Problem is the tag names within the repeating node. Please
see my example:
<root>
<repeat>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
</repeat>
<repeat>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
<feature></feature>
<value></value>
</repeat>
</root>
What I need to do is to put the feature data in repeat[0].feature into a
datagrid. But because feature is in repeat[0] twice(20 in the real app) it
will not load it properly.
Any idea how to accomplish this? I have been trying for several weeks now
with no luck.Ha!
Thanks in advance.
