RE: [flexcoders] How to initialize an editable combobox to an empty string?

[Iko Knyphausen]

Try combobox.selectedIndex = -1 (not selectedItem) I have a requirement for a combobox with several choices in it, but it is editable and I want the text field to start empty, i.e. not have any of the choices in it. I have tried the following: 1. combobox.selectedItem = -1 2. combobox.text = ""; Neither one works -- the combo box still starts with the textinput area containing the text of the first choice of the dataprovider. I suppose I could hack this by adding an initial choice to the dataprovider of an empty string, but is there some other way?
