is the datagrid item editor instance still alive when you close the
popup. if so just set that with the data.
if(dg.itemEditorInstance)
{
var yr:YourRenderer = YourRenderer(dg.itemEditorInstance);
yr.AcademicText = newAcademic;
}
.
or you can always pass a reference of the datagrid into your
modalpopup
var searchWindow:TitleWindow =
TitleWindow(PopUpManager.createPopUp(this
, AcademicSearchForm, true));
searchWindow.title="Enter Academic Surname";
searchWindow.showCloseButton=true;
searchWindow.parentDG = the parent dg.
