Hello Members!

I'd like to use Adobe's AutoComplete component in such a way, that the
values for the dropdown list are provided by a remote server based on
the already entered text. Something like Google Suggest. You enter
"apple"... the list contains "apple, apple souce, apple pie, ...". If
you keep on typing and enter "apple com" then the dropdown updates to
"apple computer, apple competition, apple comments, ...".

I managed to partially implement this with adding typedTextChange
event to the AutoComplete and getting the values there. The dropdown
only opens if I call open() on it when I receive the data from the server.

My problem is that I cannot update the dropdown values without
*reopening* the combo box which looks ugly. Not like
http://renaun.com/blog/2006/09/28/107/ - but he has all the data locally.

Sho Kuwamoto's component
(http://kuwamoto.org/2006/05/11/example-code-updated-for-beta-3/) has
the smae problem, altough it explicitly supports this behaviour
(getting data later).

Any suggestions, examples?

Thansk you very much!

Andris
