dg.addEventListener( "headerRelease", OnHeaderRelease );
dg.addEventListener( "cellPress", OnSelect );
dg.onPress = function(event) : Void
{
trace( "onPress - itemIndex = " + event );
};

I have a DataGrid (dg) with working event listeners on populated cells
(cellPress) and Headers (headerRelease). The DataGrid is populated dymanically,
and normally has a large unpopulated area. I need to be able to detect a mouse
click / mouse up / mouse down in the unpopulated area. The best that I've been
able to get to work is the code above, but replacing the dg.OnPress function
takes over the cellPress and headerRelease events as well. dg.onPress has no
parameters (event=undefined) so I cannot write code to re-direct to the other
handlers within onPress.

Any ideas?

You can't just listen for DataGrid's itemClick event?

I don't see that event. But I have just realized that I am working Flash not Flex in this project, so let me repeat the question on the correct discussion group.
