Great suggestion Erik! Tried it, but no luck. I have tried removing the overlayRect entirely also - no luck. I have tried changing the z-index of the button - no luck. I have tried removing States since the state changes when the itemRenderer is clicked, thinking that the state change might be eating the click event - no luck.
When I click the viewButton in any renderer, I have to click it a second time to trigger the click event. If I move to another renderer, I have to click it twice. If I return to the original renderer, I have to click it twice. And the button skin is tracing that it is changing state when it is clicked, but apparently that does not translate into a click event. Any other thoughts??? -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
