advancedDataGridEvent - itemfocusout

[zanshin]

When a user enters a cell in an advanced data grid I want to catch the dollar amount that was entered for calculations. I was looking at the itemfocusout event in the advancedDataGridEvent. Does anybody have an example of how to use this.

Here is an example of how to use the advanceDataGridEvent (but with onItemOpen, hope this helps...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application
xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
layout="absolute">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;
import mx.controls.Alert;
import mx.rpc.events.FaultEvent;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.rpc.AsyncToken;
import flash.utils.setTimeout;
import mx.events.AdvancedDataGridEvent;
import mx.collections.HierarchicalData;

[Bindable]
private var xmlData : XML = <data name="root" depth="0" >
<node name='loading...' loadData='true' /></data>;


private function onFault( event : FaultEvent ) : void
{
Alert.show( event.message.toString(), "ERROR" );
}

private function onItemOpen( event : AdvancedDataGridEvent ) : void
{
//each time a node is expanded, request the children from the server, if you have not alredy retrieved them
var children : XMLList = XML( event.itemRenderer.data ).children();
if ( children.length() == 1 && children[0].@loadData == "true" )
{
// do something
}
}
]]>
</mx:Script>

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid
width="100%" height="100%"
dataProvider="{new HierarchicalData(xmlData)}"
itemOpen="onItemOpen( event )">
<mx:columns>
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn dataField="@name"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>

</mx:Application>
