It may work, but it doesn't sound to me like anything you should ever have to do to get a DataGrid to work properly. Can you please explain exactly what kind of data provider and data items you have, and what kind of change you're making to them that isn't getting shown in the DataGrid? For example: Is your data provider an ArrayCollection or something else? Are the data items plain Objects or instances of classes? Are you changing fields inside an item? Or replacing entire items?

Sorry to say, some of them were a bit loopy: for example, the wholesale substitution of a 'cloned' dataProvider. I had the help of a highly skilled Flex developer who is also is a group member here, and he provided the proper stuff. In brief, it's an 'old-school' attitude to 'force' stuff in a message-passing (event dispatching) environment, and that wouldn't be the way to do it. The actual working solution involved the assembling of a PropertyChangeEvent into a CollectionEvent and dispatching that to the source dataProvider ArrayCollection.
