[flexcoders] Passing parameter to component

[Cathal]

Hi,

I'm trying to pass the selected item on a combo box in one component
to another component.

If i bind it to a label it works fine,

code: 
<mx:Label text="{headerComp.cbProject.selectedItem.projectname}" />

but passing it into another component it doesn't work.

code:

<comp:home
strProjectName="{headerComp.cbProject.selectedItem.projectname}" />

While in debugging mode strProjectName seems to be null, so it doesn't
see to be assigned anything.

Any suggestions?
