Alex:
Thanks for the reply. What I am doing is not quite an inline
component. I have 1 component in my mxml file that is referenced by
3 different datagrids like this;
<mx:Component id="cbHoldRelease">
<mx:HBox textAlign="center">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
private function doHoldRelease(data:Object):void
{
trace('What datagrid called me?');
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<inp:ValidatedCheckBox checkedValue="R" uncheckedValue="H"
click="doHoldRelease(data);"/>
</mx:HBox>
</mx:Component>
<mx:DataGrid width="887" height="20" id="dg1" y="28" x="5>
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="27" headerText="Rel"
itemRenderer="{cbHoldRelease}"
rendererIsEditor="true"
editorDataField="selected" paddingLeft="1"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
<mx:DataGrid width="887" height="20" id="dg2" y="48" x="5">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="27" headerText="Rel"
itemRenderer="{cbHoldRelease}"
rendererIsEditor="true"
editorDataField="selected" paddingLeft="1"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
<mx:DataGrid width="887" height="20" id="dg3" y="68" x="5">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="27" headerText="Rel"
itemRenderer="{cbHoldRelease}"
rendererIsEditor="true"
editorDataField="selected" paddingLeft="1"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
The trace statement needs to display dg1, dg2, dg3 depending on
where the user was when they clicked the button. Actually I need to
pass the dg(1,2,3).dataprovider, and the the selectedIndex.
BTW ValidatedCheckBox is a data aware checkbox component we wrote.

From in here, outerDocument.dg is the DataGrid for this
inline renderer
