The problem with the events is that if I listen to changes in the array, I don't have access to the chart when the event fires. You can't pass arguments to the event so the only thing it will know about is the array which fires it. And as I said before, when I create custom events, I have to dispatch them myself and they never get called when I need them to, but are always "late".
My best guess was to try FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE but that seems to never get fired when I simply append to the array which is the dataprovider for the axis. So I'm unsure what to do with these suggestions.
