Elliot -
If I had a simple path to demonstrate this bug, I'd have filed a bug report on it awhile ago. Sadly, it only seems to crop up in overly complex applications. If you'd like, I can zip up the app (about 3.5mb) and email it with a description of the bug, but i certainly don't want to do that to the list at large.

You shouldn't need to call executeBindings() except in extreme circumstances.
During compilation, Flex creates watchers for each object (including parameters to function calls) in each binding expression. If you are making changes internal to Arrays of objects in the Repeater's dataProvider and the watchers aren't catching changes, you can probably reorganize objects in your binding expressions rather than call executeBindings() manually.
Please file a bug and we'll check out the problem. It sounds like we just need to improve the Repeater/Binding documentation a little.
We prefer when things work automagically to having folks stumble around blindly. :)
Thanks, -e

Has anyone discovered a pattern as to when a repeater needs to be manually told to "executeBindings()" and when it will happen auto- magically? I haven't found the pattern yet, I'm stumbling around blindly by calling it manually if it doesn't seem to work. I'd love to know more definitively exactly when it should be needed, as I can't tell whats a bug which should be reported, and what is my own addle mindedness.
any advice?
thanks, as always
