Flex 4: DataGrid doesn't intercept event dispatched from custom itemRender

Question

I'm trying to intercept an event dispatched by my custom renderer in this way:

this.owner.dispatchEvent(new ResultEvent("eventName",true,false,parameter));

Here is my grid:

<mx:DataGrid id="calendarGrid">
        <mx:columns>
          <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="header"
                             id="h"
                             sortable="false"
                             itemRenderer="myRenderer"/>
        </mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>

and here is how I add eventlistener to my grid:

calendarGrid.addEventListener("eventName", handlerFunction);

handlerFunction is never called. Please help...

SORRY MY FAULT... addEventListener was in the creationComplete function which (I don't know why) never fires. Now it works!

Does calendarGrid ever dispatch the "eventName" event? What event are you listening for? — Jason Towne
