@Khalid I'll try what you said. @Rakesh, buddy I know that using selectedIndex we can select an item but I dont have index, I have the data of arraycollection i.e. in my variable I have item3 not 2.
var selected: String = ''item3; (this is what I have) var selected: int= 2; (I dont have this) So using item3 which is the data field of arraycollection, how can I select Item3 in combobox. I hope u got what I want to say.
