Maybe it helps to simplify your use case at first: Create a simple list and try to deselect an item programatically. If that works, I would continue with an itemRenderer and then with a nested itemRender...
You may need to force a redraw of the list by calling an invalidate method, not sure. I have not used Flex for a longer time so it's just a shoot in a dark.. -- Sent from: http://apache-flex-users.2333346.n4.nabble.com/
