Referencing a source datagrid from within a drag and drop handler

Question

My application implements a drag and drop between two datagrids.
I would like to keep track of how many times a particular row in the source datagrid has been dragged to the target.
The drag and drop handler should increment a DataGridColumn in the source datagrid row each time this happens.
I can't figure out a way to refer back to the source datagrid and set a value in its dataprovider from within the drag and drop handler function.
The source datagrid is in a module and the target datagrid in in a popup called from the module. The function below is in the popped up custom component.
public function dragDropHandler(event:DragEvent):void
   if (event.dragSource.hasFormat("items"))
      var sComponentName:String;
      var iPos:int;
      //From which component was the drag initiated? This works sComponentName is set
      sComponentName = String(event.dragInitiator);
      //This does not work, compile error
      iPos = event.dragInitiator.selectedIndex;
         trace("Comp:MealPlanDetailCreate, function:dragDropHandler - event.dragInitiator: " + event.dragInitiator + "    parent container: " + event.dragInitiator.parent)
        trace( "    sComponentName: " + sComponentName +" name pos: " + sComponentName.indexOf("dgMP"))
