What do you want to do with customer_id? Normally you wouldn't show it in the combobox and just see the names. If you want to see both, use a custom labelFunction.
Normally, someone sees the names and picks one and selectedItem.customer_id is the customer id. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of George Georgiou Sent: Sunday, October 14, 2007 2:03 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] ComboBox populate list with remoteobject Hi there, I got a remoteobject which loads data from an sql table. I got something like 5 fields for customers. I want to populate a combobox showing the name of the customer and having as a value the customer_id. After Googling it a bit, I have ended up with this: <mx:ComboBox id="customer_name" dataProvider="{customerData}" labelField="customer_name"/> this works great! But what about the dataField? (at my suprise I have found out that although a labelField does exist - which is cool, a dataField attribute does not exist). How can I bind the customer_id into my combobox? Any ideas? thanks, George
