believe me, I've tried to attack this problem from a
number of ways :)
here's the quick description:
My form design:
Policy 1: accordion
Division 1: accordion
State 1: Tab
VBox
Code 1: text input
Code 2: text input
Code 3: text input
Add Code: button
/VBox
State 2: Tab
VBox
Code 1: text input
Code 2: text input
/Vbox
State 3: Tab
Division 2: accordion
State 1: tab
State 2: tab .etc
This is directly created from an XML doc read in the e4x format. I've got
the code working so that I'm able to add code via the button in the state tab.
When debugging, I can see that the vbox's repeater item now reflects the changed XML, but the screen is not redrawn to reflect the new line for the code.
My first plan was to just reset the dataProvider for the the entire form.
Bad idea, it causes the whole form to redraw and loses the current
location within the form.
My next plan was to reference the vbox's repeater and reset it's dataProvider
to be mine XML snippet. So far no go :(
My next
plan is to try to figure out how to create a data model for a dynamic xml document. I figure this is going to be just as successful as the first two plans. :)

Yes, you should probably
back up a little and think about what you are trying to do.
Directly accessing
elements of data-driven controls is usually a bad idea, mainly because the
controls re-use the visual elements when you scroll.

You may want to also check out "Referencing repeated child
components"
in the help docs, which is specifically about components within a
repeater.
