Suppose you want to treat the row node as a record within a grid, and you want the

The encoder now takes the XML data in its raw form (String) and converts it into an
ActionScript Boolean value. Using the encoder options, it knows how to encode the string

The formatter now takes the ActionScript Boolean value and formats it into a String.
Setting the schema path
The property for a schema field is an optional setting that is used in special circumstances
path
when the schema for your component is not appropriate. Using this setting, you can create a
virtual schema field (a field that exists in one location but pulls its value from another). The value
of this property is a path expression that is entered in one of the following formats:
•
For schemas that contain ActionScript data, the path follows the format

For schemas that contain XML data, the path follows the format

When data binding is performed, Flash checks to see if there is a path expression for a schema
