Sorry to hear your posts get unanswered. I can only suggest a 'try'...did you
try using the datagrid's indextoitemrenderer method instead of creating a new
item renderer...
I have seen something similar in the DataGrid to Excel component on
Flexdownloads.com but there the exercise was limited to extracting data from
datagrid using the label function of the datagrid or if no label function
specified, just use the data displayed, without the formatting css.
