Before I go crazy please tell me why the content of the datagrid does not get populated?The headings work but for some reason the dataprovider doesn’t seem to be functioning.

I am receiving the following XML from a PHP script

Here is the AS3.0 code:  
//trace(anEvent.target.data);  
var myXML:XML = XML(anEvent.target.data);  
var dp:DataProvider = new DataProvider(myXML);  
trace(myXML);  
var columnArray = [];  
trace(myXML.children().length());  
for (var x:Number = 0; x \< myXML.children().length(); x++) {  
columnArray[x] = new DataGridColumn(String(myXML.children()[x].name() ));  
}trace(‘here’);  
columnArray[0].width = 150;  
columnArray[1].width = 50;  
columnArray[2].width = 75;  
columnArray[3].width = 75;  
columnArray[4].width = 75;  
for (x = 0; x \< myXML.children().length(); x++) {  
myDataGrid.addColumn( columnArray[x] );  
}

myDataGrid.dataProvider = dp;  
myDataGrid.width = 500;  
myDataGrid.rowCount = dp.length;  
myDataGrid.move(10, 10);  
myDataGrid.sortableColumns = false;  
addChild(myDataGrid);
