Question about timed events

Avatar

Level 1
Hello Everyone,



I'm brand new to both Flash and Flex so please bear with me
if I am asking a stupid question. I've done some Googling but I
can't seem to find the answer to this issue and I hope someone will
be willing to offer me some informtion.



I have a DataGrid componant that I populate with the results
of an <mx:HTTP> datasource. The problem is, I need to be able
to requery that datasource on a timed basis. I know how to use the
Timer object in ActionScript but I don't know how to tie this into
the <mx:HTTP> query. Basically, I'm wanting to update the
datagrid on a timed basis based on information retreived from the
remote datasource.



Can anyone help?



Thanks!

Anthony

Hi,



all you have to do is to bind the result of the HTTPService
to the datasource property of your grid (you have already done
that) and use a Timer to call the HTTPService's send method.
