I would try this.
var cf:ClassFactory = new ClassFactory(yourItemRenderer);
cf.properties = {dataProvider:myCBData};
col3.itemRenderer = cf.

Ok. This is alot closer to where I am trying to get!
When I try: _col3.itemRenderer.properties = {dataProvider:myCBData};
FlexBuilder throws the following error:
Access of possibly undefined property properties through a reference with
static type mx.core:IFactory
So now it looks like I'll either have to figure out how to access the
iFactory, or learn to write my own IFactory as suggested.
It seems like this should be simpler!
