Question

I’m reading data from an SQL database and send it to my Flex app. My source code in Flex is the follow:

<mx:HTTPService id="traffic_signals" url="http://localhost/project/connection.php" resultFormat="e4x"/>

<mx:DataGrid x="251" y="95" dataProvider="{traffic_signals.lastResult..signal}">
    <mx:columns>
        <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="source" >
            <mx:itemRenderer>
                <mx:Component>
                    <mx:Image width="94" height="94"/>
                </mx:Component>
            </mx:itemRenderer>
        </mx:DataGridColumn>
    </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>

I would like to dump this information in another type of control instead of DataGrid. Is it possible, or the only control to do this is DataGrid?

Answer 1

You can use the AdvancedDataGrid control, but basically is the same of DataGrid, the OLAPDataGrid for BI purposes.
You can also display the data in chart controls, but I don’t know if is it that you’re looking for.
