I think your problem is actually more like Q 15. I'd suggest that when your service result returns that you dispatch a "gotData" event or something and then expose a public property that the parent application reads when the data is returned. Or you might want to consider having the application do the retrieval instead of the renderer. I'm not sure how appropriate it is to have itemRenderers acting as controllers.
