Hi John,

Thanks for your quick reply. As requested, here is my AdvancedDataGrid definition in whole. I've not written the code yet for the labelFunction because I'm still having trouble putting everything in the proper scopes.

<mx:AdvancedDataGrid x="115" y="288" id="labelsGrid" designViewDataType="flat" dataProvider="{labelsGridArray}">
	<mx:columns>
		<mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn id="tag" headerText="Tag" dataField="tag" width="90" labelFunction="tag_labelFunction">
			<mx:itemEditor>
				<fx:Component>
					<mx:HBox>
						<mx:TextInput id="ti"/>
					</mx:HBox>
				</fx:Component>
			</mx:itemEditor>
		</mx:AdvancedDataGridColumn>
		<fx:Script> 
			<![CDATA[
				import mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridColumn;
					
				protected function tag_labelFunction( item:Object, column:AdvancedDataGridColumn ):void
				{
					var formattedText:String = "";
						
					tag.ti.htmlText = formattedText;
				}
			]]>
		</fx:Script>		
	</mx:columns>
</mx:AdvancedDataGrid>

The statement
tag.ti.htmlText = formattedText;
generates the following error:
Access of possibly undefined property ti through a reference with static type mx.controls.advancedDataGridClasses.AdvancedDataGridColumn

I've tried moving the function definition within the Hbox, but then the AdvancedDataGridColumn can't access it.

Help!
