I guess I just don't see why you are saving my_cb.selected at all when
it is already store in cbInstance.selectedItem.
You could just get rid of your change handler altogether in your
original scenario and just pass the selectedItem from the combobox.
So instead of:
//( locations_cb is my combobox)
function change(evt){
evt.target.selected = evt.target.selectedItem.label
}
locations_cb.addEventListener("change", this);
create_btn.onRelease = function(){
myFunction(locations_cb.selected, [...morevalues])
}
Just use:
create_btn.onRelease = function(){
myFunction(locations_cb.selectedItem.label, [...morevalues])
}

Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Combobox none selected
My_cb.selected is simply set to capture the value of the current item
selected in my change event listener. It's a custom property I set and
pass on.
-- shouldn't that be locations_cb.selectedItem?
If I do that without selecting anything in my combobox, it captures as
[object Object]
If I select something with that code, it captures as undefined.
SelectedIndex will only return the number of the index at the selected
item.
Any other ideas?
