SOLVED: This is weird, but I've got it working.
// shortcut var
var arr:ArrayCollection = ModelLocator.getInstance().arr_selectedPlans;
// if ComboBox is selected, add its label to the AC
// if not selected, remove its label from AC
if(evt.cb.selected)
{
// prevent dupes
if(!arr.contains(evt.cb.label))
{
arr.addItem(evt.cb.label);
}
}
else
{
arr.removeItemAt(arr.getItemIndex(evt.cb.label));
}
// WITHOUT THIS LINE, COMBOBOX WILL NOT UPDATE ITS DISPLAY
ModelLocator.getInstance().arr_selectedPlans.source = arr.toArray();
Should I really have to do this? I thought ArrayCollection was
supposed to have all these magical capabilities... :)
