Thanks - I suspected it was something like that too. However, you're using all Actionscript examples, I'm declaring my databinding in the MXML:
<mx:Repeater id="rSkills" dataProvider="{_user.skills}" > The data _user.skills array is created on ApplicationComplete - I'm not sure how to setup the data before, and then set the dataprovider in the MXML. The only way I can imagine is doing it all in Actionscript, which I could do, but why should I have to? It seems to be a common thing to bind actionscript data to components declared with MXML, no?
