Re: [flexcoders] Grouping Data - need some help

2008-02-19 Thread Christophe Jolif
Hi,

If all children that pertain to a given group already share the same parent 
(parentKey) that means the group is kind of already here, it is just that it 
is not exposed to Flex in manner that please it.

Indeed HierarchicalData does not work out its hierarchy from parent 
relationship (parentKey-key) as you have but from children relationship 
(childrenField).

So you need to expose the relationship that way instead of the other way around.

Either you have the ability to change your data to expose them that way which 
would be the simplest, or you have to find a workaround. Maybe using 
groupingObjectFunction on your grouping to return the instance of the parent 
(the one pointed by parentKey) would help? (not tested though)

Hope this helps,

 ie the item with key==1 should have nested children that have
 parentKey==1
 
 How do I do this?
