are you dispatchng events when the dataprovider item changes or calling itemUpdated on the collection?

I think I must have missed something obvious. I have a datagrid with editable cells which are bound to Number-like properties of an object. I want to display these values using the CurrencyFormatter. I want to edit these as Numbers without the dollar sign. I am trying to make these renders/editors "lightweight" because the grid has a lot of columns and rows(its basically a spreadsheet) so i'm trying to use actionscript to extend rather than using composition and containers in MXML. I have an item editor that extends TextInput. I have a renderer that extends Label. The renderer displays its value correctly as $100.00. The editor updates the property of the object when I mouse click outside of the cell. My gridcolumn has: dataField="columnOne" itemEditor="path.to.editor" itemRender="path.to.renderer" editorDataField="newValue" newValue is a function of my editor that returns the updated value, it seems to be doing the right thing as I can see the value updated in the set function of my object. I'm not really sure what my render should look like code-wise. I have something like the following at the moment. class renderer extends Label{ public function set data(value:Object):void{ if (value != null){ super.data = value; text = formatter.format(text); } } } Any ideas where Ive gone wrong or what I might have missed? cheers, shaun
