I typically use code like this to call a method in the parent MXML page that
contains the dataGrid...
<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn width="80" headerText="Launch"
dataField="contentURL">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:Button label="Launch" click="parentDocument.goDownload();"/>
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>
