Counting search results from outside a custom control

I have a custom control that contains a repeat control, displaying search results. I am wanting to display the number of results, but in a computed text field outside of the custom control.

I can get the count using the following code (on the main XSP), but only in the AfterRenderResponse event, which is too late to update the computed field apparently:

component = getComponent(“myCustomControl”);

var childNodes = component.getChildren();

for( var i = 0; i < childNodes.length; i++ ){

if( typeof childNodes[i] === 'com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspDataIterator' ){

	var repeater:com.ibm.xsp.component.xp.XspDataIterator = childNodes[i]; 

	var myCount = repeater.getRowCount();

	break;

}

}

Am I missing something simple?

Thanks,
