What is the difference between normal datagrid and advance datagrid.Sorting,draging columns,resizing columns are supported even in normal datagrid.
I want to add footer details like summery,average etc of each column,does AdvanceDataGrid supports these features?

The AdvancedDataGrid control expands on the functionality of the standard DataGrid control to add data visualization features to your Adobe Flex application. These features provide greater control of data display, data aggregation, and data formatting. The AdvancedDataGrid control is like a List control except that it can show more than one column of data, making it suited for showing objects with multiple properties.
The AdvancedDataGrid control provides the following features:
- Columns of different widths or identical fixed widths.
- Columns that the user can resize at run time.
- Columns that the user can reorder at run time.
- Optional customizable column headers.
- Ability to use a custom item renderer for any column to display data other than text.
- Support for sorting the data by clicking on a column.
The AdvancedDataGrid control extends the capabilities of the standard DataGrid control to improve data visualization.
One of the most important aspects of the AdvancedDataGrid control is its support for the display of hierarchical and grouped data.
Hierarchical data is data already in a structure of parent and child data items. Grouped data is flat data with no inherent hierarchy. Before passing flat data to the AdvancedDataGrid control, you specify one or more data fields that are used to group the flat data into a hierarchy.
The Flex 3 DataGrid control supports footer rows, so I am sure that the AdvancedDataGrid control would be able to do the same.
