There are a couple stategies that may work in different circumstances. For example, calling executeBindings( true) will force all bound data to requery their sources which essentially updates your view if it's a form and/or if it's the data you really want to refresh. However, if you just want the entire layout to repaint without regard to refreshing data bindings, the sure fire way is this: invalidateDisplayLi st(); validateNow( ); The first call to invalidate the display list *might* result in the view refreshing, but it only marks the view as needing a refresh and doesn't always immediately do so. By calling validateNow( ) after invalidating your display list, you are "forcing" the UI to repaint immediately. I think that's probably what you meant when you said you wanted to "force" a refresh. You can see this pattern used all over the Flex SDK.
