Combining two Object fields to one

Question

Hi,
  I have an Array of objects bound to my data grid.
  how can I have one column display both LastName + First Initial.
  Last Name and First Initial are individual values in the object.
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn 
id="FullName" headerText="Name" dataField="(lastName)+(firstInitial)" visible="true"/>
I've tried this and some other variations none seem to work.
TIA.

Hi,
That´s a example for labelFunction for your problem.
     <mx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               public function concatData(item:Object, column:DataGridColumn):String {
                    return item.lastName + " " + item.firstInitial;
          ]]>
     </mx:Script>
     <mx:DataGrid id="datagrid" dataProvider="{array}" width="100%">
          <mx:columns>
               <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="ID" dataField="id" />
               <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Name" labelFunction="concatData" />
          </mx:columns>
     </mx:DataGrid>
Please, if this resolve your problem, mark the answer helpful.
