Hello,

I’m using the Flash CS3 built-in dataGrid component to display array data. When attempting to use the editField function as defined in the help file, I get an error:

```php

TypeError: Error #1006: editField is not a function.

//for the code

gridData.editField(itemID, "testColumn", "test text");

```

I had a look in the dataGrid.as file and editField does exist.

Any suggestions for why this may be? All my other dataGrid stuff works fine.

Thanks,  
Jason
