I am going to make a ADG with around 7 columns 6 of which I am going to use checkboxes as Item renderer

Question

I am going to make a ADG with around 7 columns 6 of which I am going to use checkboxes as Item renderers. Each of these 6 checkboxes renderers will be define in separate actionscript files as they will be updating different parts of the ADG data provider. Does this sound like the best option?

Answer 1

Well the only difference is that each checkbox effects a different attribute of the  dataprovider of the ADG:
for example this renderer effects the isSelected attribute. I may want to set a different one , hope this explains it better

                    c.y = 0;
