Been having problems for my itemRenderers in datagrids. I am using Button control as a itemRenderer and setting their visibility based on their labels. Somehow, the buttons becomes visible when my DataGrid dataprovider is changed. 

The reference below solved my problem. I needed to place my logic to set the visible variable in the right place. Rest of the article touches on efficiency.

The default button skin “mx.skins.halo.ButtonSkin” has some limitations. But Flexlib saved me with their EnhanceButtonSkin.

Button {
upSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
overSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
downSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
disabledSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
selectedUpSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
selectedOverSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
selectedDownSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
selectedDisabledSkin:ClassReference(’flexlib.skins.EnhancedButtonSkin’);
}
