What's the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?

Question

H All:
What’s the right way to add a swipe handler to a DataGrid?
(Target = Android, AIR using Flash IDE)
Adding a handler to the DataGrid works; but (as expected) it only works on  the datagrid itself. Like if you swipe on the background before rows are fully  added. Adding columns over the datagrid, prevents the datagrids’ swipe handler  from firing.
Trying to add a swipe hander to the columns themselves, results in the  below error.
//  Below code fails with
//  1061: Call to a possibly undefined method addEventListener through a reference with static type
//   fl.controls.dataGridClasses:DataGridColumn.  So ... DataGridColumn doesn’t support addEventListener...
There must be a better way(?).
Thanks
            import fl.controls.DataGrid;
            import fl.controls.dataGridClasses.DataGridColumn;
           // Works, but only on the grid itself; as when the rows do not  fill the space tor the datagrid.
            myDataGrid.addEventListener  (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, swipeGridHandler);
            var c1:DataGridColumn = new DataGridColumn("Notes"); 
            c1.width = 90;
            c1.cellRenderer = CenterAlignCell;
            c1.addEventListener (TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE,  swipeGridHandler);
