Data Grid or List ?

programming flash

Hi guys I have chosen to try the Data Grid component instead of just the list component, everything works out great. Customised the look & everything but no data shown :frowning:

Can someone help me please.

var mp3_Artist: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Album: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Title: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Time: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Size: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Bitrate: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Genre: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Year: Array = new Array();
var mp3_Comment: Array = new Array();

/******** ! V A R I A B L E S ! **************************/

var xmlData:XML;
var tracksInDirectory:Number;
var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

var dp:DataProvider;

var A:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Artist");
A.headerText = "Artist";
A.width = 170;
A.resizable = false;

var B:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Title");
B.headerText = "Title";
B.width = 170;
B.resizable = false;

var C:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Album");
C.headerText = "Album";
C.width = 120;
C.resizable = false;

var D:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Duration");
D.headerText = "Duration";
D.width = 70;
D.resizable = false;

var E:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Art");
E.headerText = "Art";
E.width = 45;
E.resizable = false;

var myDataGrid:DataGrid = new DataGrid();

myDataGrid.addColumn(A);
myDataGrid.addColumn(B);
myDataGrid.addColumn(C);
myDataGrid.addColumn(D);
myDataGrid.addColumn(E);
myDataGrid.verticalScrollPolicy = ScrollPolicy.ON;
myDataGrid.setSize(575, 250);
myDataGrid.move(25,138);
addChild(myDataGrid);




init();

/******** ! F U N C T I O N S ! **************************/

function init():void
{
	xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, LoadXML);
	xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("mp3_XML.xml"));
}

/*********************************************************/

function LoadXML(e:Event):void
{
	xmlData = new XML(e.target.data);
	var songArtist:XMLList = xmlData..artist;
	var songAlbum:XMLList = xmlData..album;
	var songTitle:XMLList = xmlData..title;
	var songTime:XMLList = xmlData..time;
	var songSize:XMLList = xmlData..size;
	var songBitrate:XMLList = xmlData..bitrate;
	var songGenre:XMLList = xmlData..genre;
	var songYear:XMLList = xmlData..year;
	var songComment:XMLList = xmlData..comment;
	var len: int = xmlData.song.length();
	var i: int = 0;
	for (i; i < len; i++) {
		var ix = i + 1;
		mp3_Artist.push(songArtist[i]);
		mp3_Album.push(songAlbum[i]);
		mp3_Title.push(songTitle[i]);
		mp3_Time.push(songTime[i]);
		mp3_Size.push(songSize[i]);
		mp3_Bitrate.push(songBitrate[i]);
		mp3_Genre.push(songGenre[i]);
		mp3_Year.push(songYear[i]);
		mp3_Comment.push(songComment[i]);
		trace(mp3_Artist[i]);
		popList(i);
		}
	tracksInDirectory = ix;
	
}

/*********************************************************/

function popList(place:Number):void
{
	myDataGrid.dataProvider = new DataProvider(xmlData);	
}
