Re: [flexcoders] Fwd: Pre selecting a combo box

Thanks Shannon, that did the trick.  It looks relatively familiar to the way you do it with _javascript_.  I really thought there would be an easier way to do it.  I guess you could extend the component to include a method that would do that same thing though.

Here's what your code should basically look like:
 
for (var i:number=0;i<myComboBox.dataProvider.length ;i++) {
    if (userObject.companyID == myComboBox.dataProvider.getItemAt(i).data) {
        myComboBox.selectedIndex = i;
        break;
    }
}

Subject: [flexcoders] Fwd: Pre selecting a combo box



I've got a master detail form that works so far except for a combo box that's giving me fits.  The combo box is populated from an xml file that contains a company id and company name relabeled with the "label" and "data" headers.  The combo box populates correctly and I've verified that it returns the correct company id.  Now, for existing users, I want the combo box to automatically go to the correct company they're assigned to.  The user object has a company id.  I don't believe that I can do it with binding since it's expecting a selectedIndex vs a selected data value.  I've been experimenting around with trying to loop through the objects in the combobox, but I haven't had any luck doing so yet.

Is it really this hard?
