I'm targeting Flex 4 on Air 2, but I don't think that changes the answer to this question.
I have a Spark DropDownList which I've written a custom itemRenderer for. In my item renderer I have a spark.button. I have event bindings in the mxml and the target functions in respective classes, and I'm listening for the dropdownlist change event along with my itemrenderer.spark.button click event. My problem is that I can't seem to get any event in my item renderer to fire. It's like when I'm clicking the button, it fires the dropdownlist.change event and destroys the itemrenderer before it can handle the click event. So I thought maybe I could fix this by adding listeners in AS instead of using the mxml binding but same problem. Finally, I just put a trace in the mxml click event and nothing. It's not dealing with the item in the list before getting rid of the list. So, simply, how do I capture the itemRenderer events before allowing the DropDownList change event? Or why does the click go through the button and cause the dropdownlist to be destroyed? It's as if the hitarea for the dropdownlist is above anything I put in my itemRenderer.
