Hello,  
CS3(AS3)

Does anybody know of a simple way to get the text content of a datagrid cell? For instance, the user selects a cell and presses a button, and the contents of the selected cell are stored as a String. It seems like this would be a simple task, but I cant get it to work.

Thanks dudes!
