you can add the following attribute:

prompt=Please select...

That will be the first option in your combo.

 About Combobox filling up the first item by default when we databinding
 
 I don't get what you mean to say ...
 
 I have the code like this
 
 mx:ComboBox id=txtFamilyName
 y=24 left=10 right=10 editable=true
 focusIn=fetchAutoCompleteData(event, 'Family')
 dataProvider={modelLocator.searchModel.family}
 focusOut=foucusOutHandler()/
 
 in fetchAutoCompleteData function i will connect to database and
 update modelLocator.searchModel.family variable which has a
 databinding to ComboBox dataprovider. then the combobox will get
 populated with the first item of modelLocator.searchModel.family array
 . How can i avoid this?
 
 and secondly the combobox grows its size to the max item fetched in
 the array. how can i avoid that too.
 
 Thanks,
 Srikanth

You can also set the selectedIndex to -1. That will not select anything.
When I'm using data binding with the comboBox, and I'm using a value object,
I usually set the initial values for the comboBoxes in the constructor for
the value object class.
