If you removed the HBox, are you still using mx:Component or just the
ValidatedCheckBox directly. If you are using it VCB directly, then the
following should work:
private function doHoldRelease(data:Object):void
{
trace(owner.id);
}
If not, please provide more information on how your code looks now that you've
removed the HBox.
For centering, see:

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: properties and methods of a datagrid from item
renderer
Alex:
I removed the hbox (I would like to figure out how to center the
checkbox, but that is for a different thread).
When I execute the trace statement, I get the name of the module
that contains the panel that contains the tab navigatior that
contains the canvas that contains the datagrid. What I need is the
datagrid itself.
Any other ideas?
Paul
