Let's face it, the Macromedia Flash DataGrid component, as provided by Macromedia, is basically useless. No word-wrapping, no horizontal scrolling, no embedding of style sheets, etc. I, for one, have had enough! The TUFaT.com Flash Datagrid builds on the existing Macromedia DataGrid component, but adds a large amount of functionality, which finally makes this component useful to real-life applications.
Flash developers now have much more control over the FDataGrid Component than you ever had before. You will now be able to change the font color and style of individual cells, change the background style of individual cells, specify the color of a column EVEN when alternateRowColors is enabled (previously, alternateRowColors overrided column colors), toggle horizontal gridlines, use horizontal scrollbars, wrap text (even text within the headers!), remove that ugly header dividing bar, insert .css style sheet properties, and much more!
The FDataGrid Component is made by Macromedia to provide developers with a useful tool for displaying data in a sortable, editable grid. However, as provided by Macromedia, the DataGrid component has many limitations. These Extensions get around some of those limitations, while building on the existing DataGrid component, so that you do not lose any existing functionality.
These modifications costs $5, and include 100% of the source code, as well as the examples illustrated in the demo, and an API for the new functions in PDF format. The download does NOT include the DataGrid component itself. It is assumed that you already posses the DataGrid component, available from Macromedia. If you are using Flash 7 (also known as Flash MX 2004), then the Datagrid component comes with the Flash authoring environment. If you are using Flash 6, then the DataGrid component must be purchased from Macromedia with a DevNet kit.
Features
========
WORD-WRAPPING! (does this need any more explanation?)
Display alternating color rows in a DataGrid, while keeping specific columns all a single color.
Change the colors of specific header backgrounds. Currently, one can change the color of the entire header row via the "header" style property, but not of any specific one. This feature gets around that limitation.
Modify the cell properties (e.g. background color, text style, font properties, etc.) of any particular cell in the DataGrid. You can also set the vertical alignment of cells and cell headers.
Toggle horizontal gridlines on/off. In the DataGrid component as provided by Macromedia, it is only possible to toggle vertical gridlines. Now you can do both horizontal and vertical!
Special "Prefix" and "Suffix" formatting can be applied to any cell to give it a particular "format" - e.g. currency or percentage formats.
Cells can have formatting "callback" functions associated with them such that when a user clicks on a cell, a callback function defined in the _root level. For example in the demo, the callback function reverses the order of the words in the cell. In addition, a "cellClickHandler" has been set for the last column (salary) in the demo.
Toggle on/off horizontal gridlines, and change the thickness and color of any gridline - horizontal OR vertical.
Set URL links on any cells very easily - http as well as mailto links.
Row height auto-sizing and auto-wrapping
Horizontal scrollbar option
Adjustable header heights
NEW! Put references to cascading style sheets within your Flash 2004 datagrid
