hi

Right now iam working on dataGrid component.There is an event for cell press :

```auto

listenerObject = [COLOR=#993300]new[/COLOR] [COLOR=#993300]Object[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
listenerObject.[COLOR=#000000]cellPress[/COLOR] = [COLOR=#993300]function[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]eventObject[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
    [COLOR=#f000f0]*// Insert your code here.*[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
myDataGridInstance.[COLOR=#000000]addEventListener[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]"cellPress"[/COLOR], listenerObject[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR]

```

but if double click on cell an action will be performed.

in macromedia documentation i found script for double click.

```auto

[COLOR=#993300]onClipEvent[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#993300]load[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
  doubleclickDuration = [COLOR=#000000]300[/COLOR];
  lastClick = [COLOR=#000000]0[/COLOR];
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#993300]onClipEvent[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]mouseUp[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]

    [COLOR=#993300]if[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]lastClick == [COLOR=#000000]0[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
      lastClick = [COLOR=#993300]getTimer[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR] [COLOR=#993300]else[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]
      lastClick = [COLOR=#000000]0[/COLOR];
      [COLOR=#993300]trace[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]"double click"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
  [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#993300]onClipEvent[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR]enterFrame[COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]{[/COLOR]

      lastClick = [COLOR=#000000]0[/COLOR];
      [COLOR=#993300]trace[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]([/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff]"single click"[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000])[/COLOR];
    [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
  [COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
[COLOR=#000000]}[/COLOR]
