Are you also getting the file contents in the same RemoteObject call that returns the file Names?
If so, then the content will be in a property of your dataprovider items, and you can access and item property like this: myComboBox.selectedItem.myProperty; Tracy ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Preet Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2007 5:14 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Doubt with Combo box Hi All, In my application I used the combo Box to display a list of files(file Names). These files are retrived from a file using Remote object. Now, when I click on the fileName the contents in the file has to be displayed on the text area. But when i clicked on the file name the filename is displaying on the text area. Can anyone help me how to achieve this. If anyone could give me a suggestion, I'd appreciate it. Thanks, Preet.
