How about just:
<mx:DataGrid>
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Check Something" editable="true">
<mx:itemRenderer>
<mx:Component>
<mx:CheckBox selected="[EMAIL PROTECTED]'true'}"
click="[EMAIL PROTECTED](event.target as CheckBox).selected" />
</mx:Component>
</mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:DataGridColumn>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
