Larry,
Am a complete n00b to Flex/Actionscript but have diligently worked through the book, and am now starting to play with the technology. So go easy on me :-)

My question:
Am using Zend AMF on Wampserver to populate a DataGrid. I have a doubleClick event which, when the user doubleclicks a row on the datagrid, initialises the variable selectedRow:Object and opens a simple pop-up(Form, FormHeading, FormItem, TextInput and Button).

I would like to take the data from a cell in the doubleclicked row eg selectedRow.description and add it to the FormHeading label of the pop-up, so that when the pop-up opens, the description cell from the row selected on the datagrid is displayed in the pop-up heading.

I have made the variable 'selectedRow' bindable and am trying to insert {selectedRow.description} into the FormHeading label - somthing like <mx:FormHeading label = "This is the description + {selectedRow.description} "> in the pop-up, but no luck.

No doubt, a n00b error. I'd welcome your thoughts.

thx,

russellt

When you say you made the variable bindable and such, could you share some of the actual code (not all of it, but the most relevant parts)?

Larry,
No worries. I found a way to make it work: + datagrid.selectedItem.description + seems to work using Alert.show inside a doubleClickHandler function.

It's a cool technology, but not immediately intuitive. Lots of trial & error for me, so far :-)

Well, I'm glad you figured it out and thanks for letting me know. Yes, Flex is pretty good stuff. Glad you think so, too!
