I am building a screen that is a DataGrid. Each DataGrid cell contains 2 Buttons and a TextArea. The DataGrid is built dynamically from data read from a file containing XML. ============ ========= ========= ========= ====== <class> <student name="Fernando Wong"> <work colName="Test1" gradeData="37" docStatus="1" feedBKStatus= "1"/> <work colName="Test2" gradeData="77" docStatus="0" feedBKStatus= "0"/> </student> </class> ============ ========= ========= ========= ======== I build the DataGrid ============ ========= ========= ========= ======== var dataList:XMLList = XmlData; var field_name:String; var dataObj:Object = new Object(); dataObj.name = dataList.student. child("name" ); index = 0; for each(var child:XML in dataList.student. *) { field_name = "Test" + index; DataObj[field_ name] = child; index++; } ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= = I add the XML data to the ArrayCollection and then assign it as the DataProvider for the DataGrid ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= === columnCollection. addItem(dataObj) ; gradeGrid.dataProvi der = columnCollection; ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= === I add the itemRender to the DataGridColumn ============ ========= ========= ========= ========= ===== for (var i:Number = 1; i<gradeGrid. columns.length; i++) { var gradeGridCol: DataGridColumn = gradeGrid.columns[ i]; var renderer:ClassFacto ry = new ClassFactory( twoBtnPlusTextAr ea); gradeGridCol. itemRenderer = renderer; } // add the dataGrid to the screen addChild(gradeGrid) ; My problem is in the set data function in the item render. When I look at the data being passed to the itemRender. override public function set data(value:Object) :void the event Object looks like this this = twoBtnPlusTextArea (@eb180a1) value = Object (@5255501) mx_internal_ uid = "86A6F1AD-785B- B144-7CC6- 614DEBF9F374" name = XMLList (@5283c69) Test0 = XML Test1 = XML What I can't figure out inside the itemRender is which data set,Test0 or Test1, to use for this specific cell. Is there some Cell information around I am not aware of???
