Just as a precaution here, this owner parent stuff shouldn't be
necessary, you should be picking up the event flow, just to check have
you (a) set bubbles to true and (b) ensured if your using an mxml
component you've assigned the appropriate metadata tag for your custom
event in the ComboBox component i.e.
<mx:Metadata>[Event(name="customSelect",
type="myevents.CustomEvent")]</mx:Metadata>

OK, I tried this but I get a compiler error - owner (which is a

Try owner.owner
Inside itemRenderer owner would be the List, the Lists' owner would
be the CB I think
