Hi
I am using a datagrid which gets its data from an xml file.
One of the columns is using a field which I would like to use
within Actionscrip so that I can use the strchar function (to
select just a part of the text in that field) and then back to the
datagrid.
How do I do this? Normally, with an itemrenderer i would use
"source={data.fieldname}" to get the data. But when I open an
actionscript instance, I am unable to turn that into a string so
that I can use it.
Another problem I am having with actionscript is that every
single example code I try to use that has "var" and "trace" code
lines returns errors. Even those copied from tutorials, which
should work. Do I need to set up something?
