I have written the following scripts, and yet this does not seem to work.
in my MXML file (main)
private function myDataGrid_CreationComplete() :void
{
myDataGrid.addEventListener('myTest', myTesting);
}
private function myTesting() :void
{
Alert.show('This event should have been called!');
}
in my datagrid, i have declared
creationComplete="myDataGrid_CreationComplete()"
In my itemrenderer, I have placed a code :
override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent) :void
{
dispatchEvent(new Event('myTest', true));
}
For some reason, this does not seem to work. From what I have read mostly, this
should be able to do the trick.
Any input and ideas appreciated. Thanks..

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.

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>
