Webmaster Forum / Flash / Data Integration / August 2008

Hi I'm new to Flash Components and have been fiddling around for the last 2
weeks.

I'm basically creating a Mail Support system that

1) displays the "msgtitle" "msg"(No of messages) "newmsg"(if any) and "date".

2) when any msgtitle (row) is selected i need to display the various mails
recv. & sent in a another DataGrid.

3) The fields columns displayed in the new Grid are "subject", "from" &
"msgdate" .

4) When any row is selected it needs to display the description of that msg
in a popUp window.

Sounding easy?? I hope so :D...Anyways i searched all over the net and did 10-
15 on components tutorials but still haven't found anything on using multiple
data Grids. I still managed to make some progress though in the 5 steps
required below thanks to this tutorial

See Using ActionScript 2.0 Components > Creating an Application with
Components > Bind data components to display gift ideas

1) fetch data from an XML file an XML connector (Done)

2) Bound the respective data to a Data Set (Done)

3) Recieve the Data Set information into a Datagrid (Done)

4) On selectItem of a row it should display the respective information in
another Data Grid (????)

5) Finally show the Description in a Pop Up window.(Done)

Schema of my XML:

<supportmsg>

    <messages msgtitle ="I cant withdraw money from my account" msg= "8" newmsg
= "1" status= "Open" date = "18.08.08" >
