Well I've been going back through my code and I found a logical error in which I was not getting the correct reference to the old arraycollection and so I'd just like to close this topic by saying 'mea culpa'. The data binding does work! I just had to assign the old pointList arraycollection to the new arraycollection and bingo! we're flipping pancackes. Thanks for all of the help on this topic!
