Flex - Sending a parameter to a custom ItemRenderer?

Question

What I am trying to accomplish to to get financial data in my Flex Datagrid to be color-coded--green if it\'s positive; red if it\'s negative. This would be fairly straight

Answer 1

Ah, so I knew about outerDocument but not parentDocument. I was able to just use parentDocument.*whatever I want from the main App and I can access it as long as it's public.

Example:

setStyle("color", (parentDocument.availableFunding >= 0) ? POSITIVE_COLOR : NEGATIVE_COLOR);

Sweet! :)
