relevant code snippets would help. Generally, .as files in a mx:script tag are part of the outerDocument if they are public methods. I assume the main app is called Product_Maintenance?

Given the sheer number of topics on the subject I imagine my plight is pretty common. Until recently I typically used a data Grid to display information, now that I've become aware of its more intuitive functions such as inline item renderers. My main problem so far is this. I have a window which brings up an initial data grid full of products drawn from a SQL Lite database table. The data provider for the grid is an ArrayCollection containing the results of the select statement. At the far left of the grid, are two button columns added via itemRenderers, one for removing a product entry, another for editing a currently existing item. I can do the logic for the actual updating and deleting to the database, but correct me if I'm wrong as I believe that I simply need to execute the statement where the primary key is equal to the selected index of the datagrid, however modified via increment since the grid index is one behind the table as I've noticed. Anyhoo, I am aware of the outerDocument.whateverFunction(); deal with controls made with itemRenderer but it doesn't work in my case since all of the actionscript in my documents is in a .as file separate from the .mxml file and referred to as the source in the <mx:script/> tag. I try to use outerDocument and I get the error: 1061: Call to a possibly undefined method editItem through a reference with static type Product_Maintenance. So what can I do to get at the function inside the .as file? I've tried simply placing a script tag within the itemRenderer but it throws a parse error regardless of whats inside.
