I had forgotten about the portability issue with Web services, so Rick brings up a good point. Personally, I try to stay away from Web services (with Flex) as much as possible given the speed advantage of remoting and the [amazingly] easier integration. I'm just a Flex noob, but I'm curious how

[flexcoders] Re: Multiline ComboBox

2006-10-16 Thread Michael Labriola
Michael, Problem is that ComboBase uses a textInput control to display the currently selected item. The TextInput is limited to displaying a single line of text. You could certianly change this, but, it seems as though it will require extending ComboBox, not just making an itemRenderer. --Mike
