Ok, heres an odd one.
Normally, I can use bindings to specify widths of DataGridColumns (a trick i use to set a % width), like so:
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>
<mx:Model id="sizes">
<size1>{this.width*.28}</size1>
<size2>{this.width*.08}</size2>
</mx:Model>
<mx:DataGrid id="dg" >
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="left" columnName="name" width="{sizes.size1}" />
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="right" columnName="city" width="{sizes.size1}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="right" columnName="state" width="{sizes.size1}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="right" columnName="zip" width="{sizes.size2}"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Application>
however, if the datagrid appears in a repeater, it suddenly stops working.
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Model id="sizes"> <size1>{this.width*.28}</size1> <size2>{this.width*.08}</size2> </mx:Model> <mx:Model id="x2"> <one></one> <one></one>
</mx:Model>
<mx:Repeater dataProvider="{x2.one}">
<mx:DataGrid id="dg" >
<mx:columns>
<mx:Array>
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="left" columnName="name" width="{sizes.size1}" />
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="right" columnName="city" width="{sizes.size1}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="right" columnName="state" width="{sizes.size1}"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn textAlign="right" columnName="zip" width="{sizes.size2}"/>
</mx:Array>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Repeater>
</mx:Application>
I'm not looking for a debate on the merits of looping over datagrids, but am puzzled by this odd break in behavior. I thought perhaps I was losing scope while in the repeater, but that doesnt seem to be the case, as if i add width="{sizes.size1*3+sizes.size2}" to the DataGrid itself, the grid is sized to the right width, but the columns are all equally spaced.
Anyone know whats going on here?

Subject: [flexcoders] DataGridColumn resize width request (was: Question on heightTo property of mx.effects. Resize)
Is there an open request to add support for percentage values on the column widths for the DataGrid as well?
Ex of what I'd like to see: <mx:DataGridColumn columnName="NUMBER" headerText="Order" width="10%" />
Tho that currently throws an error: Error /gcc/gccAppDemoOrders.mxml:10 Type mismatch in assignment statement: found String where Number is required.
I really really really would like to be able to set widths for DataGridColumns as percentages PLEASE? It would seem to be very important to me to be able to have the DataGrid be FLEXible in size via percentages and have the DataGridColumns grow and shrink by %ages too :)
Any other votes?
Thanks
Mitch
