Matt,
Thanks so much for the suggestion-- that seems to work, though the
code isn't quite as succinct as I was hoping. Instead of being able to
call a method [viewHelper.setSelectedItem(event,
event.target.getRepeaterItem().sample_status)] from the
creationComplete that sets
event.target.selectedItem = def;
I had to call a method that did the following:
for (var i:Number = 0; i <
event.target.__dataProvider.mRecordsAvailable; i++) {
if (event.target.__dataProvider._items[i].label == def) {
event.target.selectedItem = event.target.__dataProvider._items[i];
}
}
Since a ComboBox's selectedItem must be a part of its dataProvider
(which makes sense). It works well, though, so I'm satisfied. :)
Thanks again,
YJ
