Almost nothing generated at "instantiation: of a renderer is meaningful. Either you know what it is because you set it at design time, or it is unpredictable, depending on the vagaries of the List functioning. Remember that renderers are recycled and are just a temporary view of the underlying data.

The first and second columns are people's first and last names, respectively. The third column is a custom MXML component that displays a button with its 'label' property set to a random number generated within the component; this number is generated during its instantiation. My objective now is to get the value of that button's label. How can I get it? The only way I can think of is to somehow be able to get a reference to that component in the third column, then I can access the component's properties. Can someone show me how I can do this in Actionscript? Thanks.
