Hi Don, Thanks for the reply.
I do am able to do the same using an in-line itemrenderer. But right now, my itemrenderer is an external AS file. So I declare my MXML like: <mx:DataGridColumn id="dgActionColumn" width="100" visible="true" itemRenderer="myButtonItemRenderer" /> Where myButtonItemRenderer is an external AS file which extends the button. Now, where I declare the datagrid, I am writing a function which I need to wire up to the itemrenderer so that on the click of the button, that method is dispatched. Thanks. ________________________________ From: fusionpage <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tue, 17 August, 2010 8:29:11 Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Method for a Datagrid Button Itemrenderer I typically use code like this to call a method in the parent MXML page that contains the dataGrid... <mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn width="80" headerText="Launch" dataField="contentURL"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:Button label="Launch" click="parentDocument.goDownload();"/> </mx:Component> </mx:itemRenderer> </mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn> Don --- In [email protected], Angelo Anolin <angelo_ano...@...> wrote: > > I know someone has encountered this before. > > Better to rephrase this one I guess. > > I have an MXML file, where I have a method.
