Help.
I'm trying to use an itemRenderer to create a comboBox in a DataGrid that is
being created with AS.
I can create the comboBox, but I am struggling with being able to change the
dataProvider for the rendered comboBox, and setting the selected index on
the comboBox.
The relevant code I am using is below.
Any help is GREATLY APPRECIATED as I am rapidly approaching a deadline.

public function createPositionTable():void
{
_datagrid = positionsGrid; // positionsGrid is an already created
DataGrid object
_col1 = new DataGridColumn;
_col2 = new DataGridColumn;
_col3 = new DataGridColumn;
_col4 = new DataGridColumn;
_col5 = new DataGridColumn;
_col1.headerText= "Position";
_col1.dataField = "Description";
_col1.editable = true;
_col1.width = 100;
_col2.dataField = "Type";
_col2.headerText= "Type";
_col2.editable = true;
_col2.width = 50;
_col3.dataField = "levelCode";
_col3.headerText = "Level Code";
_col3.width = 150;
_col3.editable = false;
_col3.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(cbRender); // HERE IS WHERE I AM
CREATING THE COMBO BOX
_col3.editorDataField = "levelCode";
_columns = new Array(_col1,_col2,_col3);
_datagrid.columns = _columns
_datagrid.sortableColumns = false;
_datagrid.dataProvider = objAdminTableGridDP;
_datagrid.dragEnabled = false;
_datagrid.dragMoveEnabled = false;
_datagrid.dropEnabled = false;
_datagrid.editable = true;
_datagrid.rowHeight = 30;
updateTablesButton.label = 'Update Positions Table';
}
