Are you using editable=true? Then editedItemRenderer should be the one. You can also set editedItemPosition to shift editing and focus to a cell.
You shouldn't need to fake a mouse event. The TextField is handled by the player and doesn't listen for them anyway. Are you trying to set focus or the insertion point? Use setFocus or setSelection instead. ________________________________ From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of candysmate Sent: Saturday, September 22, 2007 1:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Simulating mouse click on itemRenderer in dataGrid I need to simulate that a textInput itemdenderer in a dataGrid has just been click in/on with the mouse. My efforts with manually dispatching an event to the itemRenderer have failed, as I do not know how to reference it. Can anyone help please? I can reference the grid with: var mev:MouseEvent = new MouseEvent("click",false,false); mydataGrid.dispatchEvent(mev); but the itemRenderer within a dataGridColumn?
