You can't access the value from the column name - getting the selected value will give you the entire row that the datagrid is displaying from which you can get the value you're looking for. In other words, if you have an XMLList as your dataProvider, you can do something like:
var myValue:XML = dataGrid.selectedItem as XML; var myName:String = myval...@name.
