I've seen a half dozen solutions to this on the internet but somehow they don't
work. Basically
I just want to set the selectedItem of a combobox:
<mx:Combobox id="comboboxID" dataprovider="{httpserv.lastresult.system.data}"/>
// actionscript which won't work
comboboxID.selectedItem = "something";
So then I tried to loop through the comboboxID.dataprovider to find the index
for
"something" but it won't ever give me the dataprovider strings, instead giving
me errors like
this:
warning: unable to bind to property 'name' on class 'String' (class is not an
IEventDispatcher)
How can I get this working?
Thanks.
