Thanks Joel. Here's the final solution I came up with after reading that article (which I've read before). I want to add the item whose Button was clicked to an Array which is a property of another item, so I pass the "other item" into the DataGrid Component as a property, and perform actions against it in the function call from the itemRenderer:

/* CustomDataGrid.mxml */

    
        
    

    
        

        

        

        
    


/* ActionButtonItemRenderer.as */
package
{
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;

    import mx.controls.Button;

    public class ActionButtonItemRenderer extends Button
    {
        public function ActionButtonItemRenderer()
        {
            super();

            label = "Take Action";
        }

        override protected function clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
        {
            super.clickHandler(event);

            var owner:CustomDataGrid = listData.owner as CustomDataGrid;

            owner.takeAction(data);
        }
    }
}
