Try this...
Given:
1. The grid's dataProvider is bound to a bindable var named "dp"
[Bindable] private var dp:ArrayCollection;
2. A DataGrid with an id="grid"...
<mx:DataGrid id="grid" dataProvider="{dp}"...
3. Data in the dataProvider are Objects of some sort
// To get the target row of the Object
// I want to view as if someone clicked on it
grid.selectedIndex = dp.getItemIndex(someTargetObject);
// Fire an event programmatically as if someone clicked on a row
if (grid.selectedIndex > -1) {
grid.dispatchEvent(new ListEvent(ListEvent.ITEM_CLICK));
}
// Ensure that the row is highlighted and displayed
grid.verticalScrollPosition = grid.selectedIndex;
Hope this helps...
