Usually you will want to set the combobox's selectedIndex or selectedItem, not its text

Classic database stuff. Everything works great except for the first time on the ComboBox's, then after one time everything works. (In one of my old languages it would be an initialization problem), All other fields write properly. I am not using Carngorm on this app yet altho am rapidly headed in that direction, but need to solve this one as is if possible. On double click I load the value into a public bindable variable and then switch viewstack and rely on the binding to fill the value in the Combobox. (Using it as a popup to select a single value). [Bindable] public var locaQuality:String; [Bindable] public var locaQualityArr:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection( [ {label:"", data:1}, {label:"Clean", data:2}}]); <mx:ComboBox id="LocaQualityCol" dataProvider="{locaQualityArr}" text="{locaQuality}" close="closeLocaQuality(event);" labelField="label" x="246" y="128" width="125" themeColor="#009DFF" height="22" textAlign="center"/> private function editLoca(event:Event):void { locaQuality = locaGrid.selectedItem.locaQualityCol; .... home.selectedIndex = 3; } private function closeLocaQuality(event:Event):void{locaQuality = LocaQualityCol.selectedItem.label;} Thanks this one has me stumped !
