[flexcoders] Button as a DataGrid item renderer

[Mark Piller]

Hey guys,

One of the columns in a datagrid uses button as an item renderer.
Here's the MXML i have:

<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Foo">
  <mx:itemRenderer>
    <mx:Component>
      <mx:Button label="Test" width="100%" />
    </mx:Component>
  </mx:itemRenderer>                            
</mx:DataGridColumn>

The problem is when I add a "click" event handler to the button, Flex
Builder does not recognize the function name referenced in the click
handler. I tried both explicit event handler declaration and using the
Application.application reference (see below). The function is
certainly declared, but somehow the usage of it inside of the
mx:itemRenderer declaration is not recognized.

Tried this:
<mx:Button label="Test" width="100%" click="handleClick(event)" />

and tried this too:
<mx:Button label="Test" width="100%"
click="Application.application.handleClick(event)" />

If anyone has a pointer on how to add a button as a renderer, please
share the info.

Thanks,
Mark
