how to set selected rows in flash datagrid (as3)

Question

I want to select multiple rows in current result set in DataGrid in flash as3. I tried to do it like that:

this.dataGrid.selectedItems = _selectedElements[index];

where _selectedElements is an array that holds results of prevoius selection on results page gathered like that:

_selectedElements[index] = this.dataGrid.selectedItems;

_selectedElements has correct values ( checked ) and I'm sure that the problem is with datagrid component.

Does anybody have a clue how to make it work?

Answer 1

I misunderstood you question first so I edited my answer. You can set selected rows like this:

myDataGrid.selectedIndices = [3,4,5,6];

Answer 2

To select a multiple rows, you have to write a coding in for loop using rows and columns. And by giving count eg.rows+1, rows-1 you can access the rows. same for column also. pls try this and let me know if you have any doubt.
