Can you provide a larger code snippet? Try listen to the event on the stage maybe taht will help.

I have an application with a DataGrid: <mx:DataGrid id="currentConstruc tions"> <mx:columns> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="building Type"/> <mx:DataGridColumn dataField="endDate" id="remainingTime" itemRenderer= "org.feilun. renderer. CountDownRendere r" /> </mx:columns> </mx:DataGrid> where CountDownRenderer is a custom ItemRenderer that can dispatch a TimerEvent.TIMER_ COMPLETE event. I would like to listen in my main application (where the DataGrid is defined) to this TIMER_COMPLETE event, but I have not managed to do it. I have tried things like: currentConstruction s.addEventListen er(TimerEvent. TIMER_COMPLETE, handleTimerComplete ); or remainingTime. addEventListener (TimerEvent. TIMER_COMPLETE, handleTimerComplete ); but in neither case is the event caught. Do you have any idea on how this could be achieved? Thanks a lot, Sébastien __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
