RE: [flexcoders] Combo Boxes, Validation and Binding

if you can.. can you attach the mxml file?   or paste it into the next message…       From: Dimitrios Gianninas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 3:12 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [flexcoders] Combo Boxes, Validation and Binding   Ok, I have a little dilemma   Say you have a ComboBox which has a list of credit card type, which is populate via a remote call: myCombo.dataProvider = myCCList; No problem, that works and it is populated. Each elementin the list is an object with two fields, "id" and "name". Except the first element is empty, id=0 and name="".   And this combo is tied to a validation, like so:   <mx:Model id="myModel'>     <cardType>{myCombo.selectedItem.id}</cardType> </mx:Model>   <mx:NumberValidation field="myModel.cardType" notANumber="Please select an item in the list."/>   Say, I want to set the selected item of the combo once the user comes to that screen: myCombo.selectedIndex = 4; All good up to now.   Except, the red validation indication will be set aroundthe ComboBox, which is incorrect, I have selected a valid element in the combo by the (myCombo.selectedIndex = 4) code. Once I set change the selected itemto another value, all is good.   What I noticed, is that if I retrieve the folowing value:   - myCombo.selectedItem.id is equal to "5" let's say - myModel.cardType is equal to "undefined".   So some databinding is not executing? Is that it?   Jimmy Gianninas - Software Developer Optimal Payments Inc.     AVIS IMPORTANT WARNING Les informations contenues dans le present document et ses pieces jointes sont strictement confidentielles et reservees a l'usage de la (des) personne(s) a qui il est adresse.
