[flexcoders] Generic Function To Set ComboBox Item

[Angelo Anolin]

Hi FlexCoders,

I would want to create a generic function to be able to set a ComboBox item.

The function I have goes like this:

private function selectComboItem(itemID:String, dataProv:XMLListCollection, 
cmb:ComboBox, dpID:String) :void
{
  for (var i:int = 0; i< dataProv.length; i++)
  {
    var item:String = dataProv.getItemAt(i).dpID;

    if(itemID == item)
    {
      cmb.selectedIndex = i;
      break;
    }
  }
}

dpID is the data item in the XML List collection which should match the passed 
itemID.  But I can't seem to get properly the item.

Any suggestions highly appreciated. Thanks.
