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

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.

Hi All,

Any idea how I can add the usual "Select An Item" as the first label
to a comboBox? 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. Thanks, Will.
