In Flex 2, the cell render API is totally different. For one thing,
setValue() is no longer used. For another thing, a cell render is
passed a "dataObject" (or something like that) value, which contains
the data to be rendered. All of the examples I've seen thus far are
straight MXML, and most are rendered inline, so you might want to try
heading in that direction.
