Hello everybody 🙂

I’m currently building an application in Flash to display and edit values from different tables and databases in MySQL. I’m at the point to display the entries in Flash, and I thought I’d use the DataGrid component for this.

But how do I use this ? I have the arrays with the values, I have the array with the column names, but how do I get the DataGrid component to display the values of these arrays ? I’ve been reading in the manual, but it didn’t give any good examples of how to do this.

Can anyone tell me how to use this component ?
