The inline component appears to be treated as a completely separate
entity in my tests. IT cannot call functions within it's parent.
First add an event into the in-line component and make sure that it
bubbles. The second Boolean value sets the event to bubble. Bubbble
just means that if the event is not handled, it is broadcast up to
it's parent's parent until it is handled.
<mx:Component>
<mx:Metadata>
[Event(name="Delete", type="flash.events.Event")]
</mx:Metadata>
<mx:VBox horizontalAlign="center">
<mx:Button label="" icon="@Embed('../images/delete.png')"
click="dispatchEvent(new Event('Edit',true));" />
</mx:VBox>
</mx:Component>
Because of the nature of buttons inside a data grid, the 'delete'
event will not be explicitly available on the datagrid. But, you can
manually create a listener for it. I do that in an CreationComplete
method, like this:
public function onCreationComplete():void{
DG.addEventListener('Delete', deleteRow);
}
wher e"DG" is the id of your datagrid. put the deleteRow function
in your parent component just like normal.
