Hi, I don't have the book so couldn't look at the code...I know code is available somewhere online, but me being lazy :)
However, following code might help you... ###mxBindingTest.mxml### <mx:Application width="800" height="600" xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml"; > <!-- Form contains user input controls. --> <mx:Form label="Employee Information"> <mx:FormItem label="First Name"> <mx:TextInput id="firstName" /> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Last Name"> <mx:TextInput id="lastName" /> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Department"> <mx:TextInput id="department" /> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Email Address"> <mx:TextInput id="email" /> </mx:FormItem> <mx:FormItem label="Country"> <mx:ComboBox id="countries" > <mx:dataProvider> <mx:Array> <mx:String>India</mx:String> <mx:String>USA</mx:String> </mx:Array> </mx:dataProvider> </mx:ComboBox> </mx:FormItem> </mx:Form> <!-- The myEmployee data model --> <mx:Model id="myEmployee"> <name> <first/> <last/> </name> <department/>/ <email/> <country /> </mx:Model> <!-- Properties of user interface controls are bound to the myEmployee data model using <mx:Binding> tags --> <mx:Binding source="firstName.text" destination="myEmployee.name.first" /> <mx:Binding source="lastName.text" destination="myEmployee.name.last" /> <mx:Binding source="department.text" destination="myEmployee.department"/> <mx:Binding source="email.text" destination="myEmployee.email"/> <mx:Binding source="countries.value" destination="myEmployee.country"/> <mx:TextInput text="{myEmployee.country}"/> </mx:Application> Notice how combobox box is bound to a Model and Model is bound to TextInput... -abdul -----Original Message----- From: Tom Fitzpatrick [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 15, 2005 6:01 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [flexcoders] ComboBox databinding I'm trying to create an application based on the LoanCalculator example in the Webster/McLeod book. Everything's working fine for simple bindings between text inputs on a form and the value object. Where I'm having trouble creating a databinding between a comboBox in the form and the value object. When the user selects an item in the comboBox it should be stored as a string in the value object. What's the way to accomplish this? All the value object variables are public, as in the book example. Specifically, what would the <mx:Binding/> statement look like? A simple example would be even better. Thanks. - Tom Yahoo!
