Update layer without full map updating (Flexviewer)

Question

HI all, is anyone know how to update service or just layer in the srevice (layer is better) in brouser, without full map updating... I can update whole map, through meta http-equiv='refresh' content='10' , but I also use Login Screen for the Flexviewer, and every time I have to enter the login and pass. Is there some way to avoid it?

Have you tried Layer.Refresh() ?

Here's what worked for me. I run this function from a button click
protected function RefreshLayer_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
   {
    
    /* protected function RefreshLayer_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    {*/
    map.removeLayer(featLayer)
    map.addLayer(featLayer);
