refresh the itemrenderer of each item in the List component Flex

Question

I have the list shown below:

<s:List id="list2" width="100%" height="100%" dataProvider="{ recordingsShown }"
                itemRenderer="components.VideoItemRenderer2"
                selectedIndex="0" visible="false">

            <s:layout>

                <s:TileLayout id="tilelayout"
                              useVirtualLayout="true"
                              orientation="columns" 
                              columnAlign="justifyUsingWidth" rowAlign="justifyUsingHeight"
                              requestedColumnCount="3"
                              requestedRowCount="2"
                              paddingBottom="5" paddingLeft="5" paddingRight="5" paddingTop="5"
                              verticalGap="10" horizontalGap="10" />

            </s:layout>

</s:List>

which displays in tiles a name, a date and a preview image for each one of the videos contained in the arraycollection recordingsShown given as dataprovider. The problem is when a new video is added,i save the preview pic in a folder and a node describing it in an xml and i put a new item in the arraycollection with

recordingsShown.addItemAt(newRecording,0);

it is added on stage but the preview image of the last added video is not shown! How can i redraw the whole list in order to show it?

Here is my itemRenderer:

    [Event(name="playClicked", type="flash.events.Event")]

        protected function img_rollOverHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
            Image(evt.currentTarget).filters = [new GlowFilter(0xf7941d)];
            Image(evt.currentTarget).alpha = 0.9;
        }

        protected function img1_rollOutHandler(evt:MouseEvent):void {
            Image(evt.currentTarget).filters = [];
            Image(evt.currentTarget).alpha = 1;
        }

        protected function playClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
        {

            dispatchEvent(new Event("playClicked",true,true));

        }

Answer 1

I have found that there seems to be a problem with data binding and the Spark Image. Try adding this to the root tag:

 dataChange="yourImage.validateNow();

If that doesn't work, set the whole path in dataChange.
