FB beta 2 (windows 7) sucs: it works with eclipse 3.4 + plugin but complete installation NOT. Can somebody tell me why? 2. Why implementation is only possible with wizard and zend framework? Is it not MUCH better to provide something like a DATA PROVIDER with parameters startIndex, maxElements, callbackFunction? my 5 cent cheers Albert Nice example … however:

Once you see data in your data grid you should have a value for event.itemRenderer.data different than null.

If you'd see data then event.itemRenderer.data wouldn't be null. So, the first step would be to fix any problem you have in order to see data (problems could be on the PHP side, like incorrect database credentials). After you see data, use the Flex debugger to see if the itemRenderer.data object has the type you expect. If the mapping from the PHP to ActionScript type is not correct, you'll get instances of ProxyObjects and not VOObject. @Joel

For the Web Root set the path to the PHP web server root (where the PHP files stay on your server).
For the Root URL set the URL to reach the Web Root (usually this is http://localhost)
