from what your describing....your itemRenderer is an 'edit' button. the itemRenderer is appearing in a datagrid.
save the row index during a datagrid.itemFocusIn event eg private var savedIndex:int; <mx:DataGrid itemFocusIn="saveIndex(event)"> private function saveIndex(event:DataGridEvent):void { this.savedIndex = event.rowIndex; } and then use that in your code var evt:DataGridItemEvent = new DataGridItemEvent("editItem"); evt.rowIndex = savedIndex; var owner:DataGrid = listData["owner"]; owner.dispatchEvent(evt); --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Chiverton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On Wednesday 05 July 2006 10:06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > Thanks for this, unfortunately that's going to be a no-go.
