That dg columns don't support dot-path expressions. Most places in Flex don't as it requires an eval and slows things down.
You can use labelFunction to dig deeper. -Alex ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of paulwelling Sent: Monday, March 19, 2007 12:14 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] DataGridColumn not handling property.property references in Webservice Result Hello, I have a WebService that returns an ArrayCollection of ObjectProxys. Each ObjectProxy in the collection contains primative data types as well as other complex ObjectProxys. I have no problem accessing the primative data types at the top level in an ObjectProxy, for the 'datafield' of the DataGridColumn. But I can't access any nested ObjectProxy's property using the dot operator ("property.property") even though it is clearly displayed and accessible in the FB debugger. <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="numBoxes" headerText="Box Count"/> //Displays number <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="address.addressName" headerText="From"/> //Nothing What have I overlooked..? Thanks, Paul
