Please clarify: You want to set the entityID on the fly? Or is it
already set and you want to be able to retrieve it when a person
selects one of the item in the combobox?
I'm guessing you meant the 2nd and if you are, then you can just
create an event handler for "change":
function comboBoxSelect(event:ListEvent):void {
var obj:Object = event.currentTarget.selectedItem;
trace(obj.entityID + "");
}
