thankfully, Brendan Meutzner example helps nicely http://www.visualconcepts.ca/blog/index.cfm/2006/6/22/ComoboBox-RendererEditor-for-20
although doing something like this (closer to what I'm after) <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Type" dataField="col3"> <mx:itemRenderer> <mx:Component> <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{colEvalType}"></mx:ComboBox> </mx:Component> </mx:itemRenderer> </mx:DataGridColumn> I get "Access of undefined property colEvalType" which I think is a scope thing since further down the mxml file it works fine <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{colEvalType}" y="240"></mx:ComboBox> should this work? thanx barry.b -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
