By default, and for performance reasons, there is no write-

Collections have an itemUpdated method to allow you to manually
notify the collection that something that could not be watched
changed.
Yeah I was trying to keep it simple and show a non-binding example,
but maybe I oversimplified. Typically we end up setting multiple
properties at once and get a flurry of events when only one is needed
with bindable properties.
but I tried the itemUpdated method and it isn't working for me. I
tried both
var obj:Object = dataCollection.getItemAt(indices[i]);
obj.data = val.text;
dataCollection.itemUpdated(obj);
and
var obj:Object = dataCollection.getItemAt(indices[i]);
obj.data = val.text;
dataCollection.itemUpdated(dataCollection.getItemAt(indices[i]));
What am I doing wrong?
But looking at the docs did clue me in on the disableAutoUpdate() and
enableAutoUpdate() methods which I'll try for our objects with
bindable properties.

p.s. In case you don't hear it enough, thanks for the time you devote
to this list - I am sure it goes well beyond the call of duty as an
adobe employee.
