Use an Item Renderer:
package renderers
{
import mx.controls.*;
import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
public class myColumnRenderer extends LinkButton
{
private var fieldValue:String;
public function myColumnRenderer()
{
super();
}
override public function set data(value:Object):void
{
if(value != null)
{
super.data = value;
fieldValue =
value[DataGridListData(listData).dataField];
label = fieldValue;
enabled = true;
useHandCursor = true;
setStyle("color", "#0000FF");
setStyle("textRollOverColor:", "#0000CC");
}
}
}
}
To use it:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Ability" dataField="ability"
itemRenderer="renderers.myColumnRenderer">
