Flex/Flash 4 datagrid displays raw xml
- by Setori
Problem: Flex/Flash4 client (built with FlashBuilder4) displays the xml sent from the server exactly as is - the datagrid keeps the format of the xml. I need the datagrid to parse the input and place the data in the correct rows and columns of the datagrid.
flow: click on a date in the tree and it makes a server request for batch information in xml form. Using a CallResponder I then update the datagrid's dataProvider.
[code]
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.controls.Alert;
[Bindable]public var selectedTreeNode:XML;
public function taskTreeChanged(event:Event):void {
selectedTreeNode=Tree(event.target).selectedItem as XML;
var searchHubId:String = selectedTreeNode.@hub;
var searchDate:String = selectedTreeNode.@lbl;
if((searchHubId == "") || (searchDate == "")){
return;
}
findShipmentBatches(searchDate,searchHubId);
}
protected function findShipmentBatches(searchDate:String, searchHubId:String):void{
findShipmentBatchesResult.token = actWs.findShipmentBatches(searchDate, searchHubId);
}
protected function updateBatchDataGridDP():void{
task_list_dg.dataProvider = findShipmentBatchesResult.lastResult;
}
]]>
</fx:Script>
<fx:Declarations>
<actws:ActWs id="actWs" fault="Alert.show(event.fault.faultString + '\n' + event.fault.faultDetail)" showBusyCursor="true"/>
<s:CallResponder id="findShipmentBatchesResult" result="updateBatchDataGridDP()"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<mx:AdvancedDataGrid id="task_list_dg" width="100%" height="95%" paddingLeft="0" paddingTop="0" paddingBottom="0">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Receiving date" dataField="rd"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Msg type" dataField="mt"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="SSD" dataField="ssd"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Shipping site" dataField="sss"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="File name" dataField="fn"/>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn headerText="Batch number" dataField="bn"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>
//xml example from server
<batches>
<batch>
<rd>2010-04-23 16:31:00.0</rd>
<mt>SC1REVISION01</mt>
<ssd>2010-02-18 00:00:00.0</ssd>
<sss>100000009</sss>
<fn>Revision 1-DF-Ocean-SC1SUM-Quanta-PACT-EMEA-Scheduled Ship Date 20100218.csv</fn>
<bn>10041</bn>
</batch>
<batches>
[/code]
and the xml is pretty much displayed exactly as is shown in the example above in the datagrid columns...
I would appreciate your assistance.
