| Runtime Versions : | Flash Player 10, AIR 2.5 | 
All of the item editor's properties are set by the owner during 
  the start of the editor session. 
  The data property is the last property set. 
  When the data property is set, an item editor should
  set the value of the editor's controls. 
  Next, the editor's prepare() method is called. 
  IGridItemEditor implementations should override the prepare() method 
  to make any final adjustments to its properties or any aspect of its visual elements. 
  When the editor is closing, the discard() method is called.
When the editor is closed, the input value can be saved or canceled. 
  If saving, the save() function is called by the editor
  to write new values to the data provider element corresponding to the 
  row of the edited cell.

| save | () | method | 
 public function save():Boolean| Language Version : | ActionScript 3.0 |

      Saves the value in the editor to the data provider of the 
      item renderer's owner. 
      This method updates the data provider element corresponding to the 
      row of the edited cell. 
      This function calls GridItemEditor.validate() to verify
      the data may be saved. 
      If the data is not valid, then the data is not saved 
      and the editor is not closed.
     
      
Do not call this method directly. 
      It should only be called by the control hosting the item editor.
      To save and close the editor, call the endItemEditorSession()
      method of the item renderer owner.
| Boolean—trueif the save operation succeeded, 
      andfalseif not. |
