Flex TreeGrid

For a while I have been wanting to create a TreeGrid component for Flex. The

basic idea is to allow a user to navigate a Tree like object within a

DataGrid. Well, I just finished a very hacky version 1:

Here are some problems with the current implementation:

  • I get strange flicker when mousing over the cells. Don’t know why.
  • If I resize the right column to cover part of the Title, the title doesn’t get clipped. Don’t know why.
  • The code looks only for children named “product”. I don’t know of a way to make this generic / configurable.
  • Only supports 3 levels because I can’t figure out how to do recursion in the disclosurePress function. When I tried to call another function to do recursion the recursive method never got called. Don’t know why.

Other than all that, it works decently. :) Any ActionScript experts out there, please help me out. :)

Here is the mxml code

Here is the cellRenderer code

Enjoy!
