You could also try something like this:
<mx:PopUpButton label="Please select a team..." width="{tree.width}">
<mx:popUp>
<mx:Tree id="tree"
dataProvider="{mlb}"
labelField="@label"
showRoot="false"
width="300"
rowCount="8" />
</mx:popUp>
</mx:PopUpButton>
And then tweak it slightly to fit your needs.

Start with setting dropDownFactory=Tree. There might be some other
things that need fixing though.

Is there anyway to get the tree view INTO the combo box?
I really like the idea of having a hierarchical menu that looks exactly
like the tree in this example. I just want it to drop down and be a
menu like the combo box. I detest the windows file manager interface
(because of its inefficient use of screen real-estate) and I dont like
cascading menu's because I get really annoyed having to slow down and
use my mouse in slow motion just so I can get to the sub-menu I want.
I think the drop down tree hiearchy within a combobox solves both of
these problems. 1). Its a great use of screen real-estate --- if you
are not using it it takes up practically no room and 2) the hierarchy is
persistent and I dont have to be a jedi master with my mouse....and I
dont have to move %80 down and to the right to get the menu I want.
So would it be possible to do a tree in a combo box? Or, if thats
impossible, I guess I can just put the tree on a application bar and use
it like a menu?
