I got this part figured out, however I have run into another issue with getting this fixed. Why I finally populate the datagrid with data, the data comes out with all the data for column 1 in the first 4 rows, all the data for column 2, in the next two rows, and all teh data for column 3 in the last 4 rows.
This is an example of what it looks like NAME 1 NAME 2 NAME 3 arrayData1 arrayData2 arrayData3 arrayData4 arrayData5 arrayData6 Here is the code that I am using to create this data. private function createProvider():void{ columnArr = new Array(); thisArr= new Array(); dailyData = new Array(); // iterate through result array and add new items to the arrays for(var i:Number = 0; i < resultArr.length; i++){ // add new item to the array columnArr.push({column:resultArr[i].colName, dataField:"adcl" + i}); // set temp array to resultArr.child dailyData = resultArr[i].children; // iterate through child array for(var n:Number = 0; n < dailyData.length; n++){ var dataObj:Object = new Object(); var identifier:String = "adcl" + i; dataObj[identifier] = dailyData[n].adcl; //trace(dataObj[identifier]); thisArr.push(dataObj); } } This is the function I am using to create my datagrid. private function buildGrid():void { var dgc:DataGridColumn; var aColumnsNew:Array = dg.columns; for(var i:int = 0; i < columnArr.length; i++){ dgc = new DataGridColumn(); dgc.width = 30; dgc.headerText = columnArr[i].column; dgc.dataField = columnArr[i].dataField; aColumnsNew.push(dgc); } dg.columns = aColumnsNew; dg.dataProvider = thisArr;
