Re: [flexcoders] Datatip and combo box

[Sreejith Unnikrishnan]

I made a small change in your code.
Add the "data" into your array and assign "dataTipField" to "data".
Infact you could assign "dataTipField" to /anything-other-than/ "label" 
and it would work! I wont know why! Maybe for the experts to enlighten.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";>  
    <mx:ComboBox id="testComboBox" 
creationComplete="testComboBox_creationComplete()" 
dataProvider="{dp}"/>      
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[]]>
        public var dp:Array = new Array({label:"Item1", 
data:"Item1"},{label:"Item2",data:"Item2"},{label:"Item3",data:"Item3"})
        private function  testComboBox_creationComplete()
        {
            testComboBox.dropdown.showDataTips = true;
            testComboBox.dropdown.dataTipField = "data";
        }
        <!--  -->
    </mx:Script>
</mx:Application>/
