Thanks those are interesting and to the point. But, I guess the implication is that there is no way to turn off the jerky 'slide out' behavior of the built in flex combobox...and that there is no autocomplete either?
The reason this seems important to me is that I'm mostly about building data centric applications. Groovy visuals are not important, what's crucial is 'natural' editing capabilities, usually text, numbers etc. I'm wondering if this is an indicator of the non-data centric roots of flex, or more properly flash. Are people using flex for RIA applications that are data centric? Think email client (I know about the one jboss is building), quickbooks, that sort of thing? I don't want to be forcing flex to be something it's not really primed for quite yet. --- In [email protected], "Tim Hoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Check out Sho's completion input example here: > > http://kuwamoto.org/2006/05/11/example-code-updated-for-beta-3/ > <http://kuwamoto.org/2006/05/11/example-code-updated-for-beta-3/> > > -TH > > > --- In [email protected], "michaellisten" <listensome@> > wrote: > > > > Just looking at flex/flash, have a general question re combobox, aka > > dropdown list.
