Can I make a copy of an AdvancedDataGrid Item Renderer?

i have manual drag-and-drop functionality built in advanceddatagrid (adg). right now, building own custom drag proxy using container instance , grabbing text use "selecteditem" property. creates suitable image drag. however, i'd have drag proxy item renderer of item i'm dragging. don't want whole row, though, 1 cell - that's why can't use adg's "dragimage" property. when run code below attempt make copy of itemrenderer instance, itemrenderer in adg source item cleared out - label disappears. there way make "copy" of itemrenderer instance, doesn't disappear adg?

the itemrenderer made adg using classfactory of
itemrenderer class.

i think can search appropriate classfactory column,
then make new renderer factory. set data and/or listdata
the same existing renderer.

this might this:

var factory:ifactory;
var renderer:ilistitemrenderer;
//populate factory appropriate renderer factory
//you need part
factory=?;
renderer = factory.getinstance();
renderer.data=selecteditemrenderer.data;
renderer.listdata=selecteditemrenderer.listdata;
proxybox.addchild(displayobject(renderer));

you might find can shortcut using new
(getdefinitionbyname(selecteditemrenderer.classname)) instead of
factory.
