If I understand correctly, you have a ComboBox with a dataProvider,
and want to set the selectedIndex / selectedItem of that dataProvider
knowing only piece of data (the CountryCode). Is that correct?
Unfortunately, your approach is the way to do it using the built in
Flex ComboBox.
Our Flextras AutoCompleteComboBox implemented a selectedValue property,
which allows you to do just that, though

Does this answer the question?

Hi,
I am using combobox for which the bound data is coming from an
arraycollection. My arraycollection has two properties called
countryname(labelField) and countrycode. When i submit my page, the
countrycode from my combo is saved to the DB. During retrieval I am
given only countrycode and not countryname.
How can I show the equivalent countryname as selectedItem in my
combobox? Presently I am looping through the arraycollection and
showing the equivalent countyname. Is there any other way to do it?
Any help is highly appreciated...
Regards,
Ganesh Sundar R.
