You could dispatch a single event with all the necessary data.
Otherwise, you would have to replace the individual column data,
rather than using dgLessonsLearned.replaceItemAt(), which replaces
the entire row.
Ex:
(Main app)
... (in showPopUp())
t.addEventListener("infoUpdate", this);
... (in handleEvent())
if (evt.type == "infoUpdate")
dgLessonsLearned.replaceItemAt(
dgLessonsLearned.selectedIndex, evt.Result);
(TitleWindow component)
<mx:Metadata>
[Event("infoUpdate")]
</mx:Metadata>
... (in updateText())
dispatchEvent({type:"infoUpdate",
Result: {lessonsLearned: txtLessonsLearned,
needToKnow: txtNeedToKnow,
shareInfo: txtShareInfo}});
