Hi Chris. It sounds like you mostly got this working; are you saying
you're getting stuck on selectedIndex part of it?
But in general ya... I would an mx:RemoteObject, with a method where
upon completion have a result="resultHandler(event.result)" that assigns
the resulting data to a local array.
And then:
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{myArray}" labelField="myTitle"/>
Type deal. If I need the comboBox to have it's selectedIndex then to be
set, then I handle that in the resultHandler() (to use the above example).
This might be of help:
