This is a searchable datagrid component written in flash and actionscript 3 designed for displaying data encoded in an xml data file.
Why would you need such component? I will present you a few scenarios in which this component would be a great asset to you:
1. Imagine that you have a huge collection of movies, and you want to share it with your friends. And they keep asking “do you have movie X and movie Y?”. With this searchable datagrid your work is really simplified.
2. For example you travel a lot, and you want to know when your plane is leaving, from which gate, when will you arrive at your destination and all kind of information, you just put this information into a data xml, and there you go, you can search whatever information you like.
3. A phonebook with search capabilities can be another great application.
The bottom line is that you can imagine a whole bunch of scenarios in which this SearchableDataGrid can be used, and with the cool features described below you can save a lot of time and energy.
