coldfusion flash integration: Hello,

I am wondering if there is a wy for cfgrid to automatically highlight the an entry as selected when the form loads in flash?

Thanks in advance!

Not sure exactly how but it seems you would need to setup an "onload" function
in your cfform which sets up a "modelChanged" event for your grid. When the
grid first loads with data it will fire the "modelChanged" event and you can
take it from there.

http://www.asfusion.com/blog/entry/knowing-when-the-cfform-data-arrives
explains this process quite well.

<cfform name="myForm" format="flash" onload="onFormLoad()">
<cfformitem type="script">
<!--- onload function --->
function onFormLoad(){
var listener:Object = {};

//put the controls in scope to avoid calling _root
var contactList:mx.controls.DataGrid = contactList;

listener.modelChanged = function(evt):Void {
alert('Data loaded... select first item');
<!--- remove listener, so that we are not longer notified of model
changes --->
contactList.removeEventListener('modelChanged',listener);
<!--- select first item --->
if (contactList.dataProvider.length){
contactList.selectedIndex = 0;
}
}

contactList.addEventListener('modelChanged',listener);
}
</cfformitem>
<cfgrid name="contactList" query="contactsQuery" rowheaders="false">
<cfgridcolumn name="name" header="Employee Name">
<cfgridcolumn name="gender" header="Gender">
<cfgridcolumn name="age" header="Age">
</cfgrid>
</cfform>

Note, you need MX the 7.0.1 patch to use the cfformitem tag with type="script"
