I had the same problem and I ended with the following solution:
Add an event listener on your collection like this:
groups.addEventListener(CollectionEvent.COLLECTION_CHANGE,
onDataChanged);
In the onDataChanged function, look if the 'kind' property of the
event is CollectionEventKind.UPDATE.
Then you can find the id with something like that:
if (ev.items.length > 0)
{
var pce:PropertyChangeEvent = ev.items[0] as
PropertyChangeEvent;
var id:Number = pce.currentTarget.id;
}
Hope it helps,
Benjamin.
