your datagrid dataprovider is a reference to a collection (in your case its an XMLListCollection). so if your removing items from it .....and your also referencing this same collection elsewhere, then ofcourse you will be see the same items being removed (because your looking at the same collection)
unless anyone has a better idea, you'll have to make a 'copy' of your xmllistcollection and make that your datagrids dataprovider....and then you'll be able to remove items as you like without any loss of data in other parts of your work. sound okay? bod --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "grae_hall" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I've got a datagrid component which I'm using to display the most > recent documents from an XML file.
