>>Ok, but a stupid question do u know how to distribute each MovieClip object >>to get a list appearance ?
Been frustrated with DataGrid in a past project, been leary of it ever since - I'm probably a wuss, but instead I made my own data grid using Movie Clips and a scroll pane and it's been working great. This is a working draft - not finished - and you'll need to click through some javascript dialog boxes first, but see the grid in the "planner" tab: http://cmt.icfconsulting.com/CDRH/DiscoveryPortal%20Source%20Code/Flash/ version4/DiscoveryPortal.html Here's part of the script that creates and positions the rows - based on XML data (XPath): function createPlannerGrid(target_mc:MovieClip, title:String, x:Number, y:Number, width:Number, height:Number):Array { var Rows:Array = new Array(); target_mc.attachMovie("rowTitles_mc", "rowTitles_mc", 1); target_mc.rowTitles_mc._x = parseInt(XPath.selectNodes(session.data.xmlFiles["config_xml"], "config/planner/[EMAIL PROTECTED]")); target_mc.rowTitles_mc._y = parseInt(XPath.selectNodes(session.data.xmlFiles["config_xml"], "config/planner/[EMAIL PROTECTED]")); target_mc.createClassObject(mx.containers.ScrollPane, "items_sp", 10); target_mc.items_sp.contentPath = "blank_mc"; var numRows:Number = XPath.selectNodes(session.data.xmlFiles["tasks_xml"], "tasks/task").length; for (var i:Number = 0; i<numRows; i++) { var thisRow:MovieClip = target_mc.items_sp.content.attachMovie("plannerRow_mc", "row"+i+"_mc", i+11); Rows.push(thisRow); if (i>0) { thisRow._y = Rows[i-1]._y+20; //position the rows } if (i%2 == 0) { thisRow.gotoAndStop(2); //alternate the row colors } } target_mc.items_sp.move(x, y); target_mc.items_sp.setSize(width, height); return Rows; } Jason Merrill | E-Learning Solutions | icfconsulting.com NOTICE: This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged or confidential information.
