Mulitple row edit in Datagrid question

Question

Hi
I'm playing around with different ways to edit a column in multiple rows, and I'm wondering if there is a standard way of doing this?
Currently, to edit one row, I'm doing this (simplified idea of my function):
private function data_gridClicked(event:ListEvent):void
     var row = Number(event.rowIndex);
     var col = Number(event.columnIndex);
     var colName:String  =  event.target.columns[event.columnIndex].dataField;
     switch(colName)
          case "Read":
               event.item[colName] = "Y"; break;
          case "Delete":
               data_grid.dataProvider.removeItemAt( event. rowIndex );  break;
So if you want to set multiple rows of "Read" to be "Y", or delete multiple rows, is it a matter of using data_grid.selectedIndices to get which rows are clicked, and set up each switch condition to loop through the rows to make the changes?
What I'm finding using data_grid.selectedIndices in the above function is that it contains the indices PREVIOUSLY clciked on.  So if I click on row 3, ir returns -1, and then if I click on row 10, it returns 3 etc...
Can someone please point me in the right direction?
Cheers

According to the help docs...
"The click event is dispatched before the value of the component is changed. To identify the row and column that were clicked, use the properties of the event object; do not use the selectedIndex and selectedItem properties."
So if you want to know which column or row was clicked, then the click event is probably what you need to use.  But since using that will not lead to the correct selectedItem/selectedIndex, I am not sure what needs to be done other than maybe to have both listeners at work for you.
