Simon, Could be. Though I just tried invalidating the chart, the parent panel and the stage, in bubble-up order: chart.invalidateDisplayList(); panel.invalidateDisplayList(); stage.invalidate(); and threw validateNow()'s in there on the same components for good measure... and still no joy.
Let me know if it works for you. I did find another example of an itemRenderer somewhere that implemented a handler for a dataChange event. But it was an itemRenderer for a datagrid item, and the event was never dispatched when used in a chart. --- In [email protected], "simonjpalmer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have been grappling with a similar issue.
