Nevermind the second part of the question about passing the combobox data, I
figured that out:
(in "class A")
function cbChangeHandler(e){
var t_cb:ComboBox = e.target;
var thisData:Number =
t_cb.dataProvider[t_cb.selectedIndex].data;
adminData.getWSdata(thisData);
}
But the first part of my question regarding getting wsResulthandler to fire
once the Webservice data is received is still an issue. Any ideas?
