Hi,  
I have a DataGrid in my scene and I’ve figured out how to populate it with XML using AS3.  
The only thing I can’t figure out is how to determine which element has been clicked on.  
It’s not an editable grid, I just want to handle when someone selects a row in the grid and display that rows elements.  
Thanks for ANY help. I’m so close.

```auto
myDataGrid.addEventListener(SELECT, mySelectHandler);
returns the error...
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable SELECT is not defined.

myDataGrid.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, mySelectHandler);
returns the error...
TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::Event@3aa94471 to fl.events.DataGridEvent.

```
