Flex: letting component know a button has been clicked in mxml

[Danielle R]

Hi JAQUAN,
Thanks for your input. I've updated function set data like you said and the eventHandler like this:

protected function btn96ClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void{ 
  currentYear = "1996"; 
  components.MenRowRenderer.year = currentYear;
  menRenderer.dataProvider = myProxy.populationMen; 
  // components.data = myData; this doesn't work
} 

But this doesn't trigger anything in the ItemRenderder. I suppose it just sets the "new" dataprovider but nothing happens with the data display. Any other suggestions are welcome. TIA.
