Ok. This is alot closer to where I am trying to get!
When I try: _col3.itemRenderer.properties = {dataProvider:myCBData};
FlexBuilder throws the following error:
Access of possibly undefined property properties through a reference with
static type mx.core:IFactory
So now it looks like I'll either have to figure out how to access the
iFactory, or learn to write my own IFactory as suggested.
It seems like this should be simpler!

You can write you own IFactory, or you can do this:
_col3.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(comboR);
_col3.itemRenderer.properties = { dataProvider :
arrayToUseAsDataProvider};
Then your ComboBox dataproviders will be given assigned that array.

*Subject:* Re: [flexcomponents] Struggling with itemRenderer in DataGrid
Perhaps I am not being clear. I know I can set the dataProvider within
the component. What I need to know is how I can either change the
dataProvider when the itemRenderer is called.
I want to use this itemRenderer in multiple grids. Each grid is to use
the itemRenderer with either a different dataProvider, or update the
dataProvider with different data.
So I'm trying to something like:
public function createPositionTable():void
{
_col1 = new DataGridColumn;
_col2 = new DataGridColumn;
_col3 = new DataGridColumn;
_col1.headerText= "Position";
_col1.dataField = "Description";
_col1.editable = true;
_col1.width = 100;
_col2.dataField = "Type";
_col2.headerText= "Type";
_col2.editable = true;
_col2.width = 50;
_col3.dataField = "levelCode";
_col3.headerText = "Level Code";
_col3.width = 150;
_col3.editable = false;
// HERE I SET THE itemRenderer - but want to use a different dataProvider
// OR AT LEAST UPDATE THE ORIGINAL DATAPROVIDER WITH NEW DATA
_col3.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(comboR);
_col3.editorDataField = "levelCode";
_columns = new Array(_col1,_col2,_col3);
_datagrid = positionsGrid;
_datagrid.columns = _columns
_datagrid.sortableColumns = false;
_datagrid.dataProvider = objAdminTableGridDP;
_datagrid.dragEnabled = false;
_datagrid.dragMoveEnabled = false;
_datagrid.dropEnabled = false;
_datagrid.editable = true;
_datagrid.rowHeight = 30;
updateTablesButton.label = 'Update Positions Table';
}
public function createDepartmentTable():void
{
_col1 = new DataGridColumn;
_col2 = new DataGridColumn;
_col3 = new DataGridColumn;
_col1.headerText= "Position";
_col1.dataField = "Description";
_col1.editable = true;
_col1.width = 100;
_col2.dataField = "Type";
_col2.headerText= "Type";
_col2.editable = true;
_col2.width = 50;
_col3.dataField = "levelCode";
_col3.headerText = "Level Code";
_col3.width = 150;
_col3.editable = false;
// HERE I SET THE itemRenderer - but want to use different dataProvider
// OR AT LEAST UPDATE THE ORIGINAL DATAPROVIDER WITH NEW DATA
_col3.itemRenderer = new ClassFactory(comboR);
_col3.editorDataField = "levelCode";
_columns = new Array(_col1,_col2,_col3);
_columns = new Array(_col1,_col2,_col3);
_datagrid = positionsGrid;
_datagrid.columns = _columns
_datagrid.sortableColumns = false;
_datagrid.dataProvider = objAdminTableGridDP;
_datagrid.dragEnabled = false;
_datagrid.dragMoveEnabled = false;
_datagrid.dropEnabled = false;
_datagrid.editable = true;
_datagrid.rowHeight = 30;
updateTablesButton.label = 'Update Positions Table';
}

This should set you up to use the myLevels in every ComboBox.
The comboBox has built-in logic to set the selectedItem based on what it
sees in the data property. In your case you might want to override the data
setter and choose selectedIndex then.
FWIW, using VBox to wrap will be slower than ComboBox straight up.
