Tracy,
Thanks for the help!! I have some additional questions on this. I
am very new to flex/as and am stuck on a couple items.
I found some examples on how to setup the renderer and have
implemented this. I created a function to create the actual mailto
string and have hit these snags:
Here is the code for the function:
private function convertEmailToMailto(emailAddy:String):String
{
var mailtoEmailAddy:String ;
mailtoEmailAddy = ''
+ emailAddy + '';
return mailtoEmailAddy;
}
And here is the renderer code:
htmlText="{convertEmailToMailto(data.emailAddress)}"/>
The first problem I have is that I am getting "call to possibly
undefined method convertEmailToMailto" error and am not sure what the
problem is.
The next is that I am confused about the bubbling.I am assuming
I will need to add a 'click=""' in the line and I see in the
properties for TextEvent to do a TextEvent:LINK but I am not having a
lot of luck seeing how to implement this.
Help?
Thanks,
Adrian

There are several ways to do this. One way is to create an
itemRenderer using htmlText. htmlText can include an
tag. You can have the click dispatch a bubbling TextEvent, and in the
handler, access the dataProvider item via the event.currentTarget
property, and use the url to build your mailto url, and navigateToURL
to laouch the browser.
There will be examples of all of this if you look a bit.

*Subject:* [flexcoders] Creating a hyperlink mailto in advanced data grid
Hi All,
I am using an advanced data grid to display a variety of data, one
of which is a users email address. I'd like to be able to set it up
so that for any given row in the report, the email addresses are
actually hyperlinks to open a mailto: that address. How do I do this?
Thanks,
Adrian
