So basically whenever you want to update the database with the new values, you would serialize and data from Flex to your server script which would loop over each item and update the database using some simple SQL. Hope that helps, Peter javlae,

But the interesting part would be to save the new entered/edited data into a database. How can this be done? This is nice, thanks for the example.

Peter Jana,

Maybe try using the <br> tag, or “\n”.

I have a list of items within the cell of a row that I want to display. Jana Peter,

So I'd consider using the TextArea even for a single line of text. Who would have thought it would be so easy? :)
