Ok I finally figured out all of my remoting issues with AMFPHP and AS3

I now have an array of column names: [id,group\_fk,date\_created,name,password]

And Arrays a bunch of arrays setup in the same order: [id, group\_fk ,date\_created, name, password]

I want to be able to go through a dataProvider (or dataGrid) and just say myDg[0].id or myDg[0][id] rather than myDg[0][0] to get the id.

Any advice on what is the most efficient way to do this?

I tried just setting the columns of a datagrid to [id,group\_fk,date\_created,name,password] and then adding the dataprovider (which is just the bunch of arrays that match up in order).

Just looking for the best way to do this :pir:
