How to trigger datagrid's doLater()

[fyicc]

I'm developing with Flash 8. I'm trying to figure out what conditions will trigger the datagrid to call doLater(). I am not dynamically creating a datagrid with "new" or createObject(). The datagrid is already placed on the stage and I'm simply adding columns and populating it with data through a data_set component.

Here's what I'm trying to accomplish. After I edit a value in a cell and hit enter (and leave the focus of that cell), I do not want the focus to be on the next cell or any other cell for that matter. In the cellFocusOut listener, I register a function to be called by doLater() to make the datagrid editable again. However, the doLater() is never executed, thus the datagrid remains uneditable. I have also tried adding and removing columns/rows to try and trigger the doLater() call but with no success. Could someone please explain to me when the datagrid calls doLater?

doLater() is called when a Component's properties, set through Property/Component Inspector, are set and become accessible. i.e. it's called only once at the beginning of the Component.
