Simple XML and DataGrid failing

[Tim]

I just wanted to test XML population of a datagrid.
After searching around I found that the actual element names in the XML doesn't matter but the names of the attributes do.

So here's what I tried.

var myGridDP:XML = new XML(
       "<test>" +
           "<row name='person1' data='blah'/>" +
           "<row name='person2' data='blah2'/>" +
       "</test>");

myDataGrid.dataProvider = myGridDP;

I know that this works with a menu/tree/other list components but with my datagrid this doesn't cause an error but doesn't seem to do anything.

Can someone help me find the error?

Thanks,
-Tim

Hi there-

I have been working with the DataGrid component, and with PHP and XML for the past few weeks now, and I think the best tutorial I have found is at:

http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/flash/articles/flash_xmlphp_05.html

It ties in not only the XMLConnector to combo boxes and DataGrids, but will step you through setting your bindings correctly and such.

Hope this helps.
