[AS2] DataGrid Problem

[trendykarn]

Hello to all.

I am again here with some trouble.
I have a datagrid that holds data for my shoppingCart like object name,price, quantity.
what I want to know is that How could I change Quantity of an object so that total prize also change respectively

Exactly the problem that I was facing. I wanted cell B to be notified when something in cell A changed. I got it working by sending an event from cell A to the parent and catching the event in cell B.

See thread http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=209522

What you need is a custom cell renderer for your datagrid. If your datagrid columns are of different types, you will need a custom cell renderer for each of the columns. See this thread http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=203892 on how to implement the custom cell renderer (this is in AS3, I have no idea about AS2, but I guess it should be similar).

Then, to notify cell B of any change in cell A, the sequence is as follows:

1. In B's cell renderer, you should have this.parent.addEventListener(MyCustomEvent.EVENT, ....);
2. When change happens in cell A, post an event from here (cell renderer) to the parent movie.
3. This event will be 'caught' in cell B and you can change its data as needed.

The event flow looks something like this then-

Cell A --> Parent Movie <-- Cell B.
