It means that when the data property changes, the "dataChange" event will be fired. The data binding subsystem uses that information.

What does the line [Bindable("dataChange")] mean? The section looks like this: //---------------------------------- // data //---------------------------------- /** * @private * Storage for the data property. */ private var _data:Object; [Bindable("dataChange")] /** * The implementation of the <code>data</code> property * as defined by the IDataRenderer interface. * When set, it stores the value and invalidates the component * to trigger a relayout of the component. * * @see mx.core.IDataRenderer */ public function get data():Object { return _data; } /** * @private */ public function set data(value:Object):void { _data = value; invalidateProperties(); dispatchEvent(new FlexEvent(FlexEvent.DATA_CHANGE)); } Thanks, -- Troy Simpson
