The data grid component released at the same time the developer resource kit was released is probably the most ambitious component ever built by Macromedia themselves. This particular component has over 60 API calls and it has support for scrolling, paging, Flash remoting, many different forms of customization, editable cells and custom cell renderers all in one component. This is a dream come true for developers who are working with databases and want to connect to live data sets. The data grid has the ability to display information in columns, rows and so forth and allow the user to edit each cell and passing information back to the database. Because this is a data aware component and the API is quite complex we will save the in-depth explanation of this component for the advanced Flash MX developer tutorial. For now let's take a look at how this operates with one of the sample files Macromedia provides with the component. Now as you can see I click in the set data, we now have columns which are sortable just by clicking the header, you can scroll down, you can configure the columns in different ways and methods. So as you can see for viewing your data this can be quite powerful and very flexible. So I hope you'll join me for the advanced tutorial where we will take a look at how to use a data grid component with your Flash movies. grid component with your Flash movies.
