Thanks for the help. You guessed correctly.
Here is how I am using it:
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{Application.application.StateListArray}"
prompt="" id="LICST"/>
So now with your advice it would be:
<mx:ComboBox
creationComplete="event.currentTarget.dataProvider=Application.application.StateListArray"
prompt="" id="LICST"/>
Correct?
The former "incorrect" method seems more intuitive to me.
I am not afraid of ArrayCollections nor the events. I just don't see a
reason to use more memory than necessary, and in this case (and
similar cases) I really can just use a simple array for my needs
without the overhead of an ArrayCollection or extra events.
Granted it may not be much overhead saved, but it does add up I would
think.
Thanks again,
James Wilson
