Hi Angelo,
You're close. You'll need to declare the event in the DataGrid. A
simple subclass should do the trick. This way you can add the event
listener in mxml too:
package myPackage
{
import mx.controls.DataGrid;
[Event( name="myTest", type="flash.events.Event" )]
public class MyDataGrid extends DataGrid
{
}
}
