I have created many buttons inside the datagrid. Now when the user clicks on any button how can I know the index of the corresponding button.  
I can get the index of the button in my CellRenderer.as file with  
trace(“Button index is:”+button\_index);

function setValue(str:String, item:Object, sel:Boolean) : Void  
{  
button\_index=item.lov;  
button.\_visible = (item != undefined);  
}

I just want the index of the cell where button was pressed in the datagrid.  
If 3rd button is pressed, how can I get this info?  
Thanks
