There are various ways. The easiest is to declare your array/object of colors as a static const somewhere so you can reference it directly. That has obvious problems, of course.
If you implement IDropInDataListRenderer (I think?) you get a listData object which you can cast to DataGridListData and from there reference back to the DataGrid and/or it's columns. If you're using a custom subclass of DataGrid that accepts colors, you can reference them that way. Still have the dependency issues, but they're a bit more constrained. Finally, you can also use a custom ClassFactory as the value of itemRenderer, instead of implicitly using the default (which mxmlc configures for you), and parameterize your instances that way. Of the three, I'd say the last is the best, but it's the most cumbersome to actually implement. There's probably other ways as well. cheers, barneyb On 7/9/07, Ian Skinner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a custom item render setup for a datagrid cell.
