Sorry Doug i could be wrong about the [Event] metatag in datagrid column. Your code is different to the example from the docs, might be worth re-checking your implementation.
another idea on how to avoid using [Event] metatag is, try to add the click event for your datagridcolumn during the initialize event of your datagrid eg <mx:DataGrid initialize="doInitialize()"> function doIntialize() { //loop thru columns for(var i=0;i<columns.length-1;i++) { if(columns[i].className = "DataGridLinkColumn") { columns[i]["startUp"]; // see below //or columns[i].addEventListener("click", columns[i]); } } } have a function called startUp() in your DataGridLinkColumn as follows function startUp() { this.addEventListener("click", this); } } this might not work. just an idea regards bod --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "mrmcfeely8" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Comments inline... > > --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "bhaq1972" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi, > > your original idea of having a [Event] metatag didnt work because > > DatagridColumn isn't extending from UIObject (i think). > > Good point... didn't think of that.
