It's all about architectural layering:
Flex classes (mx.*) ------ Flash class (flash.*) ------ Core AS3 classes (int, String, Array, Date, etc.) Databinding is triggered by an event getting dispatched. Events are a Flash Player concept. ArrayCollection is a Flex class that knows how to dispatch events. Array is a class of the core AS3 language, which doesn't know how to dispatch events.

Can you explain or point to any link/resource/reference that explains why an arraycollection is needed for binding instead array? BTW, is there any other type not available to bind?

From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of piotrchruscielewski Sent: 22 August 2008 09:07 To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] Binding problem - not refreshing after Array.push Hi I have some problems with data binding. I make an array [Bindable] var ar:Array and some DataGrid with datarovider=ar When I will pass this array to some other class - which will push new object to it - my DataGrid doesn`t refresh. So I need to take care of it manualy. Is this normal or have I forgot about something ?
