Sorry, I just opened Flex for the first time the other day. I'm fluent in AS2.0 so it's not a huge leap but it is quite new to me.
I'm creating a store for sounds and the datagrid will be used to display search results. Two of the cells in each row need a custom button graphic w/ link but I'll start another thread for that.

I've talked to my backend developer and I will actually need to do the equivilent of a LoadVars.sendAndLoad() to get the data I'm looking for. I'll just be calling a php page and sending it some vars, I will then need to parse the results. Is it stupid to that with anything but an XMLList object? I prefer to just loop over an array created from a split string but not if there is a better way.
