When the dataProvider for an DataGrid is an array of objects, how do I set each column's dataField to a property of the object.
I have an ArrayCollection (say a) where each item is an object
For example a[i] = data:Object
Where the object data has some subproperties - data.name
, data.title
, data.content
etc.
I have a DataGrid in which I want to display this data.
So I put:
<mx:DataGrid id="entries" dataProvider="{resultRSS}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Title" dataField="data.title"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Date" dataField="data.created"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
This doesn't seem to work at all. I get an empty DataGrid. How should I assign the dataField property, so that it shows up properly? I've tried {data.title}
too.
Thanks.
Edit: sample of my data
-[]arraycollection
--[0]
----id="id1"
----data.
------title="something"
------name="something"
------text="some html"
--[1]
----id="id2"
----data.
------title="something2"
------name="something2"
------text="some html2"
and table should be
|title |name |text |
=================================
|something |something |some html|
|something2|something2|somehtml2|
here is your answer

edit - ok now discard my previous answer according to your data try this
var a:Array = new Array();
var o:Object = {};
private function stringArrayToObjectArray():void{
o["id"]="mauj";
var oj:Object=new Object();
oj["title"]="aaa";
o["data"]=oj;
var oj1:Object=new Object();
oj1["id"]="mauj2";
var oj2:Object=new Object();
oj2["title"]="qqqq";
oj1["data"]=oj2;
a.push(o);
a.push(oj1);
}
private function some_labelFunc(item:Object,th:Object):String {
return item.data.title;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid width="100%" height="100%" sortExpertMode="true" id="adg1" dataProvider="{a}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="COMPANIES" dataField="data" labelFunction="some_labelFunc"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
</mx:Application>
try this sorry for such a bad code
