cellrenderer with an Image Loader

[vasdefrn]

I'm hoping you guys can help me. I have been scouring the net for help but I haven't come across an adequate answer that I understand.

Basically, I have a single column DataGrid which is happily displaying the text of an image url, and I would like it to actually display the image.

I understand the logic - I need to build a cellrenderer class which tells the DataGrid to put a loader in each cell, but for the life of me, I can't figure out how. Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial that takes me step by step through the process (and doesn't assume knowledge), and is clearly written. I've tried Chris Bizzel's, and one over at sepiroth and many others - and even the usually excellent Joey Lott.

Many thanks, this has really been making my head ache for days now.

Try this one, it has an example file.

Thanks for that jasper, but I've already looked at that one, and I can't extract from it what I need.

If someone could post a link, or the actual class script for a cellrenderer that places a loader in a datagrid column, that would be amazing. I could use the one on the livedocs page, but I don't then know how to call it from the swf itself.

It seems that I have or know the logic of each bit of what I need to do, but I am flummoxed as to how to make it all work together.

So, to recap - I have placed a datagrid on the stage (not with script), and populated it with xml data. The single colum displays the url text very happily.

Can someone point me in the direction of a cellrenderer class tutorial that specifically places a loader in the datagrid, and also gives me the actionscript code to place in the swf?

Thanks.

Having exhausted my own patience looking for an answer to this, I had a moment of clarity, and wondered if the ScrollPane was a better way to go, which I think it is - now all I have to do is figure out how to data bind the scroll pane to a data set - any thoughts?

Thanks
