How to change the map extent from a selected item in a data grid

MartinSiwek

Hi,

I've setup a query task that calls features from an ArcGIS Map Service and populates an mx datagrid with it's attributes.  I'm trying to write code so that when a user selects an item in the data grid that it zooms to it in the map.  Any suggestion about how I would go about this?

Thanks!

I assume that grid contain Lat/Long, ...on row select creat a mappoint and then call centerAt() function and set scale or level whatever is needed....here is API Reference

[HTML]centerAt () method 
public function centerAt(mapPoint:MapPoint):void
Recenters the map at the specified location.

Parameters

mapPoint:MapPoint �?? The point to center at.[/HTML]

and Example...
