First off, reinstate the VBox. The override the setter data (value:Object). There you can either set the cb's dataProvider like cb.dp = data.someObject
or if you are doing it in MXML, you can bind the dataprovider of the CB to some expected property of the data property of the VBox. Doing it via script is a bit tricky, because if your data value doesn't contain the targeted property it will throw a runtime error. On 3/1/07, Steve Gustafson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
OK, now I've gotten rid of the VBox, but still do not see how I can set a different dataProvider to the comboBox, or dynamically set the selectedIndex. Again any help is greatly appreciated.
