Sorry Doug i could be wrong about the [Event] metatag in datagrid
column. Your code is different to the example from the docs, might
be worth re-checking your implementation.
another idea on how to avoid using [Event] metatag is, try to add
the click event for your datagridcolumn during the initialize event
of your datagrid
eg
<mx:DataGrid initialize="doInitialize()">
function doIntialize()
{
//loop thru columns
for(var i=0;i<columns.length-1;i++)
{
if(columns[i].className = "DataGridLinkColumn")
{
columns[i]["startUp"]; // see below
//or columns[i].addEventListener("click", columns[i]);
}
}
}
have a function called startUp() in your DataGridLinkColumn as
follows
function startUp()
{
this.addEventListener("click", this);
}
}
this might not work. just an idea
regards

Thanks, bod.
