I've currently go this issue too, but I have the following:
<mx:DataGridColumn width="75" headerText="Header itemRenderer="itemRenderers.columnRenderer"/> And thus have a folder called itemRenderers with a MXML Component columnRenderer. From this component how do a call a function in the main part where the datagrid is? I have tried outerDocument but Flex Builder shows an error. All the MXML Component has is: <mx:VBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; horizontalScrollPolicy="off" verticalScrollPolicy="off"> <mx:Text text="{data.columnData}" fontSize="10" width="100%" height="100%" textAlign="center" click="outerDocument.appFunction()"/> </mx:VBox> I get two errors: 1180: Call to a possibly undefined method appFunction. columnRenderer.mxml 1120: Access of undefined property outerDocument. columnRenderer.mxml All Help Appreciated Kev. --- In [email protected], "Gordon Smith" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > That's not a function call, and if enter="myfunction()" doesn't compile then enter="myfunction" shouldn't either. > > If myfunction() is a method of the component or application that contains the DataGrid, then you want enter="outerDocument.myfunction()".
