[flexcoders] combobox.selectedItem causing component to do 3 runs to the server

[Luke Vanderfluit]

Hi.

I have a combobox component that has a list of sites.

When I click on a site in the list, another component is populated with data 
from that site.

This is what the setup looks like in the main file:

                <mx:VBox id="rm"
                                enabled="{orgform.saveOrUpdateOrg == 'Update'}"
                                label="Risk Matrix"
                                horizontalAlign="left" horizontalGap="0">
                        <SiteList id="sitelist3"
                                        siteArr="{siteArr}"
                                        verticalGap="0"/>
                        <RiskMatrix id="riskmatrix"
                                site="{Site(sitelist3.sites.selectedItem)}"/>   
        
                </mx:VBox>

So when I click on a site in the sitelist3 component, that site is sent to the 
RiskMatrix 
component.

All good.

Now in the RiskMatrix component I have a 'set' function:

                [Bindable]
                private var _premise:Premise;
                public function set premise(p:Premise):void {
                        _premise = p;
                        if (_premise != null) {
                                s2.getTemplateObjects(_premise.premiseId, "RM");
                        }               
                }

This sets the premise but does everything 3 times.... including calling the 
server 
function: s2.getTemplateObjects(_premise.premiseId, "RM")

I have a handler 'handleGetTemplateObjects()'. The handler does everything 3 
times.

Any idea why this is happening?
Ive tested other setter functions in my code and they are all calling 3 
times... why?

Thanks for any help. Kind regards.

Luke.
