Reading data back from an editable datagrid in flex.

Question

Hello everybody,

I am having an editable datagrid which is populated using an XML object which in turn is populated via a HTTPService. The editable datagrid columns all have an itemrenderer with rendereriseditor property marked true. I need to send the edited data back to the server via an http service.

Is there a way that the changes made my the user are reflected back in the XML object? or Is there a i can read the datagrid in its edited state row by row and store the data in my own objects? or Any other tip when working in a scenario like this is also welcome.

If the itemRenderer data is directly bound to a reference to the datagrid's dataProvider, then editing the value directly edits the value in the dataProvider, which you can simply send back to the server.
