Just found the solution for this issue, there is a disabledTexFormat
setting:
test_cb.setStyle("disabledTextFormat", myFormat);

Glen,
I tried your recommendation and reassigned the dataprovider to the
combobox after it was disabled and that did not work unfortunately:(
When I am in the debugger, the data appears to be loaded even with out
reloading the dataprovider. It is almost like there is an alpha
setting somewhere which is hiding all the text.
It is not obvious to me and I might have to go back to using the
default text
Thanks for your help

Hi,
I had a similar problem in the past where I had to reassign the
data provider to the combo box - I can't remember exactly what I was
doing, but something to do with hiding / disabling the box messed up
the display of embedded fonts, etc.
Anyway, try that - it might help - hope so.

I think I am missing something really simple.I have been spinning my
wheels this afternoon trying to figure out why my embedded text
disappears when I set my combobox.enabled = false;
If I use default text and disable the combobox, the text appears
with some alpha effect. If I embed text and disable the combobox ,
the text disappears.
_Scenario using default text:_
To test, I just place a combobox in a flash page. I add a couple of
items to the combobox and name the combobox test_cb.
test_cb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
test_cb.enabled = false;
}
Everything works hunky dory. The combobox is disabled AND the
selected text item is still visible.
_Scenario using embedded text:_
In my library I create a new font (in my case i used arial bold 12)
and named it ComboFont. Linkage settings to be exported for
actionscript and in frame 1.
In my actions layer:
// Create a new instance of the Font1 symbol from the document's
library.
var myFont:Font = new ComboFont();
var myFormat:TextFormat = new TextFormat();
myFormat.font = myFont.fontName;
test_cb.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
test_cb.setStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
// Set dropdown style for comboBox
test_cb.textField.setStyle("embedFonts", true);
test_cb.textField.setStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
test_cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle("embedFonts", true);
test_cb.dropdown.setRendererStyle("textFormat", myFormat);
test_cb.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, changeHandler);
function changeHandler(event:Event):void {
test_cb.enabled = false;
}
The font looks like it has been embedded, it is much darker.
When the combobox is disabled after an item has been selected, the
text is NOT visible.
I would appreciate any help!
Thanks
Margo
