OK I figured out that modifying the array associated with
the dataprovider for a repeater does not always trigger a change event. So I had
to use the replaceItemAt method of the dataprovider to get it to update that
section correctly.

Subject: [flexcoders] repeater does not update when object in array for dataprovider changes
Hi I
am using a repeater to render multiple sections on a screen. The dataprovider is
an array of VO objects that each have a comments property.
When
new sections are added dynamically I have to update the entire
dataprovider(assign the array to the dataprovider again) to get the
repeater to add the new section. The real problem I have is after that I need to
assign some text to one VO object's comments. The text gets assigned to the
object but the repeater does respond to the change of the VO object within the
array(dataprovider). The only way I've been able to get the repeater to update
its contents is to again assign the entire array to the data provider or to
call the executeBindings method on the repeater. This causes all sections to be
redrawn causing a them to disappear and reappear. I do not want to a refresh of
the entire set of sections since it cause a big flicker. Is there a way to force
a specific section(repeater instance) to update itself without redrawing all
sections?
I also
tried setting the recycleChildren property to true, but it did not seem to
do anything.
