Is there any way I can access the "dataField" field from within a custom item renderer?
<mx:DataGridColumn itemRenderer="MyCustomComponent" dataField="startDate"/> <mx:DataGridColumn itemRenderer="MyCustomComponent" dataField="endDate"/> In this case the component MyCustomComponent would know to look at the data.startDate field when displaying the first column and the data.endDate field when displaying the second column. I would imagine the component to look something like: <mx:Label text="{formatter.format(data[dataField])}"/>
