Ok, well you've got your XML data loaded into the DataGrid comp, so your question is how to make the specific data cell "clickable", right?

I have not used the DataGrid component so this is a partial guess, but I'm pretty sure I'm right about this and the Help doc should confirm it. Try this:


import flash.events.Event;

// ...

dataGridInstanceName.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE , handleChange);
// ...

function handleChange(e:Event):void {
messageBoxInstance.text = e.target.selectedItem.label
}

hi
I have tried it, it doesn't work. I get error. I have tried

e.target.selectedItem.data; and e.target.selectedItem.label - both give me error.
anyway, i appreciate your help
