What I want to do is simple but I'm a little lost in terms of what to 
overwrite, so I'm hoping someone can guide me in the right direction. Say I 
have the following list of countries in my standard Flex ComboBox:

Cameroon
Canada
Cayman Islands

When the user types in "C", I want the "C" in country names to be highlighted 
(bold) in ComboBox drop-down. If the user types "Ca", then I want "Ca" to be 
bold in drop-down list of countries and so on. 

I found a AutoComplete ComboBox on the net that helps with adding text input to 
ComboBox and matching it against country names in the combo-box, but I'm 
wondering how I can achieve the highlighting of matched characters in the 
drop-down.

I'm assuming that I need to use item renderers and somehow dynamically change 
the item renderer taking matched text input into account. Is this true or is 
there another easier way of achieving this?
