[flexcoders] Re: Passing parameters into Component Item Renderers

[criptopus]

My item renderer is as follows:-

===================================code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- itemRenderer for foldEdit -->
<mx:HBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; horizontalAlign="center">
        <mx:Script>
                <![CDATA[
                        import mx.events.FlexEvent;

                        public var retValue:String;

                        override public function set data(value:Object):void
                        {
                                if (value != null)
                                {
                                        super.data=value;

                                        if (value.shastatus == "E")
                                                shared.selected=true;
                                        else
                                                shared.selected=false;
                                }
                                dispatchEvent(new 
FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE));
                        }

                        private function change():void
                        {
                                if (shared.selected == true)
                                        retValue="E"
                                else
                                        retValue="D";
                        }
                ]]>
        </mx:Script>
        <mx:CheckBox id="shared" change="change();"/>
</mx:HBox>
===================================code

So are you saying I set up a:: Static Public var allowEdit:Boolian; :: in here 
and how do I define it from the Datagrid, do I have to include it and set an 
instance up of it, that doesn't sound right to me. - I'm only a beginner any 
code hints would be great.
