[flexcoders] Re: Accessing dataField from within a Custom Item Renderer

[triggersoftware]

Yup...I was being dense:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Label xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
textAlign="center" creationComplete="setText()">        
        <mx:Script>
                <![CDATA[
                        import mx.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridListData;
                                        
                        private function getFormattedDate():String {            
                                                
                                var columnMetadata:DataGridListData = 
DataGridListData(listData)
                                var fieldName:String = 
columnMetadata.dataField;                                
                                var data:Object = data[fieldName];

                                return df.format(data);
                        }
                        
                        private function setText():void {
                                text = getFormattedDate();
                        }
                ]]>
        </mx:Script>
        <mx:DateFormatter id="df" formatString="DD-MMM-YY"/>    
</mx:Label>
