Thanks for the responses. It would help if Adobe documented the "reuse" concept better in their ListBase class.
The "reuse" concept may be better optimized for performance, but it causes issues for code that is still running after the change in data. For example, I'm using an HTTPService response to parse the data, but the response comes 2-3 itemrenderer data sets later. Could you suggest any workarounds?
