RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox default label.

[Peter Watson]

Hi Will,   There is also a “prompt” attribute for the mx:ComboBox component that may be what you are looking for.  That way you don’t have to modify the dataProvider and once a selection is made the prompt doesn’t show again.   <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{cards}" prompt="Please Select a Card Type"…>     If you always want the prompt value to be in the list then go with Stacey’s approach.   regards, peter   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Will Morgan Sent: Tuesday, June 06, 2006 9:26 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] ComboBox default label.   Joshi - thanks, but that wasn't quiet what I was looking for. Stacey - that kinda works, but I need to tweet it a little - thank you for the pointer! Will.

The labels are from a webservice and I'm using lableField="GAL_NAME" so there isn't one available to me. How do I add that into the dataProvider? Any help appreciated.
