CreationComplete Problems

Question

If I try to get a mxml componet that has a datagrid in it to
render data how do I get the main application page to pull the data
with the creation complete in the application file?
Here is the componet (resume2.mxml) file code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="476" height="230">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
[Bindable]
private var getSkills:ArrayCollection;
private function skillsRPC(event:ResultEvent):void {
getSkills = event.result.main.secondary;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="mySkills" url="data/skills.xml"
result="skillsRPC(event)"/>
<mx:Label text="Skills:" fontSize="17" fontFamily="Times
New Roman" enabled="true"
fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic" color="#800000"
textDecoration="underline"/>
<mx:DataGrid id="myGrid" x="5" y="29" width="100%"
height="194" dataProvider="{getSkills}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Primary Set"
dataField="skill1" fontSize="10" fontStyle="normal"
fontGridFitType="pixel"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Secondary Set"
dataField="skill2" fontSize="10" fontStyle="normal"
fontGridFitType="pixel"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Canvas>
Here is the main application file code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

The creation complete above is incorrect.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I finally figured it out.
Everything I can do at the component.
Here is an example...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="476" height="390"
initialize="myClasses.send()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.rpc.events.ResultEvent;
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Bindable]
private var education:ArrayCollection;
private function myEducation(event:ResultEvent):void {
education = myClasses.lastResult.main.classnameone;
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:HTTPService id="myClasses" url="data/classes.xml"
result="myEducation(event)"/>
<mx:Label text="Classes and Training:" fontSize="17"
fontFamily="Times New Roman" enabled="true"
fontWeight="bold" fontStyle="italic" color="#800000"
textDecoration="underline"/>
<mx:DataGrid id="myGrid" x="5" y="29" width="100%"
height="353" dataProvider="{education}">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Name" dataField="skill2"
fontSize="10" fontStyle="normal"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
</mx:Canvas>
