Just sharing the solution I got for this with Flex Support. I
basically just used the labelFunction attribute.
<mx:Script>
function formatName( item ) : String {
return item.firstName + " " + item.lastName;
}
</mx:Script>
<mx:ComboBox id="employeeComboBox" labelFunction="formatName"
dataProvider="{ModelLocator.employees}"
/>
I still wondering why the cellRenderer solution didn't work.
cheers,
George
