Re: [flexcoders] ComboBox SelectedItem why not inspectable.

[Jeffry Houser]

I spend a *LOT* of time looking through the language reference for 
classes that I use.  Especially when trying to solve an issue.

Yes thats the conclusion that I had reached this morning when working 
with it. I was just wondering if there was a reason to hide it from 
codeHinting. I mean they must have put that in there for a reason?

I can't fathom it.  Not on this work iteration but on one serveral 
weeks back I lost a lot of time because I believed the only way I 
could deal with the comboBox was selected item. So I rewrote a lot of 
my classes to also return an index.

Now I'm mostly working with AS code rather than MXML code and I think 
my grip on how things work internally is better so its not so much of 
an issue. I know I should look up the language refrence for all the 
classes I use but to be honest who really has time for that?

Thanks, Jeffry

     Looking at the ComboBox code, it looks like the "inspectable"
    metadata is set to none.  I assume that hides it from code hinting. 

     However, despite that you should be able to use it w/ no problems
    in MXML just as you would w/ ActionScript.

    Hi,

    Why isn't the ComboBox.selectedItem available in MXML? It would
    be better then selectedIndex in many cases.
