Something's wierd. The ListEvent does not have a value property. How did you get the value? The renderer's data property is an object and not a string.

(I'm assuming you're replacing "Character" with a variable or literal character in the code and not keeping it as "Character", because otherwise that's you're problem right there).

I tried to pass an ListEvent from the DataGrid on itemClick. I got the value from the event. I mean the de\isplay value. I tried to check for a character in the value using the value.indexOf("Character") > -1. it doesnt work. The method is not returning anything. When I check on the helper in the flex builder 2.0 IDE I could see only the length method displayed and no other methods which is suppose be for a string. Can some body help me n this regard Thanks in advance Cheers Hara
