I'm still not having any luck. The reset event is being called
upstream and processed in my handler, with the proper value of
prevIndex calculated, but the grid still jumps to the top after the
data fill:
if (event.kind == CollectionEventKind.RESET) {
var prevIndex:int = this.dgDelays.verticalScrollPosition;
trace("prevIndex = ",prevIndex);
this.dgDelays.verticalScrollPosition=prevIndex;
}
