dataBinding and atributes

yep, me again.

I'm following the tutorial here.

It's working fine for me, but I need to extend it a little and I can't seem to find any documentation on it.

Basically, my PHP is sending back an xml string like this:
<results>
<row>
<artist>artist1</artist>
<song>song1</song>
<price cost='99'>clickme.swf</price>
</row>
</results>

I have the HTTPService's result tag call a function named bsResultHandler() shown here:

Code:

---

        private function bsResultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void{
            // Save a reference to the list of bloggers
            resultsCol = event.result.results.row;
            trace(resultsCol.toString());
            // Hide the busy cursor
            CursorManager.removeBusyCursor();
        }

---

My DataGrid's dataProvider is resultsCol.

How can I get one of the DataGridColumns to show the value of cost?
right now I have:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Preview" dataField="cost"/>

K, I pretty much got that figured out. Seems you can pass simple url vars to the itemRenderer.
So I just had the php send back an xml tag that looked like this:
<buyBtn>buynow.swf?price="99"&id="12345"</buyBtn>

and inside the swf I just used:
price_txt.text = "$0."+price;

So I can have loaded .swf's communicate with loaded vars, that's cool. But now my question is, how do I reference vars inside a flex <mx:Script> tag?

Say I had a script tag as follows:

Code:

---

  <mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
                  public var playState:Boolean = true;
          ]]>
  </mx:Script>

---

how would I trace playState from an .swf loaded into a cell of a dataGrid?
