Yes, the framework also calls updateDisplayList(), but it has a
different behavior than set data(). I recall someone finding it as a
solution to to many set data calls.

Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Resize children of a Tile container: Solved
(sort of) but questions remain..
Tracy,
Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that it addresses the
question. I'm not calling set data() when the objects are resized; the
Flex framework calls it internally.
My app is working correctly now, so I'm not looking for suggestions on
how to make it work. Rather, I'm trying to understand *why* the Flex
framework calls set data() whenever the contents of an item renderer
are resized. I'm trying to gain a better understanding of Flex's inner
workings, in order to aid future development.
But I appreciate the thought!

Perhaps you should look into using updateDisplayList() funtion to do
the resizing instead of set data()? I am not good enough with item
renderers to know for sure, or why, but I get the feeling that this is
the method to use for some visual manipulations. There has been some
discussion, search the archives.
