If you want to subclass you would do something like this: public class AngeloDataGridColum n extends DataGridColumn { public function AngeloDataGridColum n() { labelFunction = labelFunctionTest; } private function labelFunctionTest( item:Object, col:DataGridColumn) :String { return owner.document. df.format( item[dataField] ); } } By subclassing you don’t have to assign the labelFunctions to the columns that need them.
