What you're probably experiencing (though "doesn't like me referencing it" is
SO vague this is just a guess) is that the default data binding Flex sets up
for you when you use {} notation does not fire when an element of an array
changes. Instead, it will only fire if the entire array changes. This is why
God invented the ArrayCollection.
You have several choices if this is, in fact, your problem:
1) Switch to an AC
2) Manually dispatch a property change event for the array that is a property
of the object.
3) Replace the entire array object with a different array object with your
desired values every time.
