You're assigning the index to the selectedIndices variable, you need to
modify the array.
var toSelect:Array = [];
for (...)
if (...)
toSelect.push(i);
select.selectedIndices = toSelect;

Subject: [flexcoders] selecting items in a listbox based on a query
result
I am having some issues selecting the items in a listbox based on a
selection return result from a GRID.
I basically run a function pageListChanged() when someone selects an
item in a grid.
That functions gets some data from a Coldfusion CFC and returns the
result.
I then want to select items in a listbox based on that result so the
user can make changes if they want to.
heres how I am trying to select the items in the listbox, but its
not selecting it. (note i hard coded in the results so u can see
what I am returning from my CFC) sooo what am i doing wrong here?
Listbox code:
<!--- helper function to select items in a list --->
public function selectList(select: mx.controls.List,
optionsToSelect:Array):Void{
//go through every record to find the right
one
for (var i:Number = 0; i < select.length;
i++) {
if (select.getItemAt([i]).data ==
optionsToSelect[i]){
select.selectedIndices = i;
break;
}
}
}
Heres the code calling the function above and passing data:
var Roles:Array = Array(4000, 4001, 4002);
<!--- Listbox --note using helper function
from below to select right options--->
_root.selectList(_root.edit_Roles, Roles);
***********************THIS CODE WORKS FINE BELOW*******************
Code I used for combobox (works great)
function:
<!--- helper function to select items in a dropdown -
-->
public function selectOption(select:
mx.controls.ComboBox, optionToSelect:String):Void{
//go through every record to find the right
one
for (var i:Number = 0; i < select.length;
i++) {
if (select.getItemAt([i]).data ==
optionToSelect){
select.selectedIndex = i;
break;
}
}
}
calling function code:
var subjectID:Number = 7000;
<!--- ComboBox -- note using helper function
from below to select right options--->
_root.selectOption(_root.edit_navSubject,
subjectID);
