Here is my situation,
I have a combobox and a viewstack. The combobox's dataProvider is XML
generated by a php script retrieving information from a db.
The database has two primary entries. The first is a location, the
second is a type of test performed. These are inputed by the user
elsewhere in the application. When the user views the combobox, they
see the list of site entries.
Upon selecting the a site, the viewstack should change to show the
related test information. Should be pretty straight forward. The
problem comes when I want to pass the string value of the test to
viewstack - they have the same names.
As a test of the viewstack, this works fine:
dataProvider="{viewstackTestKits.getChildren()}"
change="{viewstackTestKits.selectedChild=event.currentTarget.selectedItem}"
But I want something like this:
change="viewstackTestKits.selectedChild=box.selectedItem.Test_Kit_Used"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml";
layout="absolute"
creationComplete="service.send()">
