Yeah, the code I showed in an earlier message shows that Adobe have a try catch already which is supposed to then raise the Fault Event so us putting a try catch round their try catch would achieve nothing.

If you can't find the error, post the json output that is causing the
error to be thrown (the json encoded data that is being returned from
your php script), as well as the AS3 code that you wrote to decode the
json data here and I can take a look at it for you. However, like
Haykel said, more often than not this type of error is caused by a
simple syntax error in your json return.

[flexcoders] skinClass in external library
My scenario: I have a flex builder workspace with the main flex application, and many flex libraries which are linked to the main flex app. One of that libraries contains the assets, styleSheets... it's the theme library. In the stylesheet file of this library, there are some styles defined which use the Embed(skinClass='whatever') directive, this skin classes are in a swc file created with flash. This swc file is added to the build path of the theme library. Some of this styles are used in the main flex app. When I try to compile the whole thing, I got a class for skin 'whatever' not found error from the main app. If I compile the theme library only, i got no errors. The only solution I've found is to add the swc file to the build path of the main app. But, and here is my question: I don't want my main flex app to depend on the swc file. Is there any way I can accomplish that?

[flexcoders] Re: How to default an Accordian to a closed state (Flex 3)
Yes, the height of the Accordion would change whenever a user clicks a header to open up that headers menu item contents. Right now, the first header group in the Accordion defaults to open when the application loads. I'd like to have that first group closed or collapsed initially and force the user to select a group. It would be great if the Accordion had some sort of defaultPosition property of open or closed. I could extend the Accordion and add that property however I have to figure out how to close the Accordion first ;) --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, Tom Chiverton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Monday 06 Oct 2008, Erich Cervantez wrote: Anyone know of a simple (or not so simple) trick to default an accordian to a closed state.

[flexcoders] New to flex, why are the charts so tempermental?
Recently we decided to switch from an open source AS2 based flash chart
to using Flex 3 for our charting to get more control over the styling of
the chart. I'm pretty new to Flex, but so far I'm pretty disappointed
by the out of the box behavior of the charts. Basically, I'm trying to
do something very simple: dates on the x-axis, some numerical value on
the y-axis. I need to control a little bit about the fonts, colors,
and data tips, but not much else. I thought this would be easy, but
after a few days of toying around, I'm really ready to gouge out my own
eyes.
After messing around for days, I went back and tried the simplest
possible thing, straight out of the docs:
?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
mx:Application xmlns:mx=http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml;
layout=absolute
mx:Script![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayCollection;
[Bindable]
public var deck:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection([
{date:08/01/2005, close:42.71},
{date:08/02/2005, close:42.99},
{date:08/03/2005, close:42.65}
]);
]]/mx:Script
mx:Panel title=Sample DateTimeAxis
mx:LineChart id=myChart dataProvider={deck}
showDataTips=true
mx:horizontalAxis
mx:DateTimeAxis dataUnits=days /
/mx:horizontalAxis
mx:series
mx:LineSeries yField=close xField=date
displayName=DECK /
/mx:series
/mx:LineChart
mx:Legend dataProvider={myChart}/
/mx:Panel
/mx:Application
This gives you a nice little chart where the x-axis labels and tick
marks do not come close to lining up with any of the data points. I
tried messing around with AxisRenderers and labelAlignment settings to
no avail. My conclusion thus far is that DateTimeAxis is basically
useless.
Right now, I'm working around this by switching to a CategoryAxis, but
the DateTimeAxis has some nice features I'd like to take advantage of,
and the CategoryAxis seems to have its own hurdles to overcome. Does
anyone know if there's a work around for this behavior?
[flexcoders] Create Application from Database (CAD)
I have installed Java and WTP on Flexbuilder 3 and have setup a MySql database, and created a database user and created tables using the DataSource Explorer and Sql Editors. Way cool. Then I used Data-Create Application from Database to create a CRUD Application for a Table and that too worked great. I got an editable datagrid bound to the table with a viewstack and input form that allows adding new rows and all is well, with that. Then I was thinking, danger Will Robinson, that the REST of the story should be the same for other Flex screens accessing that same database table so I can have any number of screens with access to the REST interface for the one I generated with Create Application from Database, just include the same addressScript.as for my 'address' table and change the grid references and that should work right? When I take another application let's call it PersonComponent.mxml and add mx:Script source=addressScript.as / The same that is in my address.mxml that works just fine generated from CAD I get a lot of problems 1120: Access of undefined property addressCol. Person/flex_src addressScript.asline 178 so the references to things like dataGrid and column id in the addressScript fail. How do I get around this problem short of moving all the script into the mxml Ollie
[flexcoders] ToggleButtonBar with bindable labels of Buttons - resourceManager
Dear all,
I am using the resourceManager to switch between languages in my flex app.
All labels (i.e. of buttons, textfields...) are bound to locale property
files, that they change immediately, when the user changes the language.
I have a toggleButtonBar in my app and want the labels of the buttons to
change as well. Therefore I use the BindableObjectClass, which extends
Object and has a bindable property label. I use it like that:
mx:ToggleButtonBar
mx:ArrayCollection
components:BindableObject
label={resourceManager.getString(MY_BUNDLE, 'NAME_1')}/
components:BindableObject
label={resourceManager.getString(MY_BUNDLE, 'NAME_2')}/
/mx:ArrayCollection
/mx:ToggleButtonBar
The only problem I have is, that when I change the language, the
ToggleButtonBar disappears for a moment. It appears with the correct
language labels, when all other labels change language. I want the
ToggleButtonBar to remain on stage and just change the language. Does
anybody know another way to do it, that prevents the disappearing?

Hi, No need to cross post from flexcomponents to flexcoders most of us read both. This is a bit of engineering on your part. This is like asking where do I start to make a space ship. There are so many details, you will need to design this from your knowledge of flex components. You might look at the flexlib and it's MDI implementation. That might give you some ideas on where to start. Ironically, I am releasing a framework like this in 2 months. Truth be told, I have spent 1 1/2 years creating a base framework that made it happen.

Re: [flexcoders] Log4J like library
@Howard: Actually I am developing AIR application and I don't have any my own server side where I can deploy any web service for logging. That's why I require some logging mechanism which will store information on user machine like all desktop applications do. @Dimitrios: I think, current logging framework provides TraceTarget and it logs output only when application is running in Flash Player Debug version. Isn't it? Also to enable this logging, we will have to first ask user to configure this trace logging in mm.cfg and then application will start logging and may be on second run actual problem doesn't happen. Of course, build in framework provides a very nice foundation classes. I am thinking of few helper classes like RollingFileTarget (which will log messages to a file and it will be rolling), and LogConfigurator (it will configure logging system from a config file) etc. Does this make sense? - Shahid On Wed, Oct 8, 2008 at 6:25 PM, Dimitrios Gianninas [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Howard is right... remember if you create a logging framework that logs things the client app is doing, the log will be generated on every end-users computer...do u intend to retrieve all logs files from all users when an error happens?

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox in Component won't open to Saved Value
ComboBox.selectedItem will only work if you assign a *reference to an
item in the ComboBox dataProvider*. This is rarely possible and is not
in your case.
What you must do is loop over the items in the CobmoBox.dataProvider and
compare the appropriate property's value to the value you want to match.
When a match is found, use the loop indes to set the ComboBox's
selectedIndex. This is simple enough to do in a one-off situation.
If you need this often, then you might want to use an extended ComboBox.
Making a generic one is a bit tricky, because the Combo Box dataProvider
items can have any properties at all. I have an example on
www.cflex.net http://www.cflex.net/ (it allows you to set the data
field you want to match) and Ben forta has done one and there are
others.

I have a ComboBox used as a Popup on a form component.
It saves fine using the following function

The ComboBox opened to the zero value not the 1.

not present upon opening.
I am referencing it like this and must be missing some kind of kick event?

Right now, the first header group in the Accordion defaults to open when the application loads. I'd like to have that first group closed or collapsed initially and force the user to select a group. It would be great if the Accordion had some sort of defaultPosition property of open or closed. I could extend the Accordion and add that property however I have to figure out how to close the Accordion first ;) Have you thought of using includeInLayout to make the children of the containers populating the Accordion have no dimension? This will visually look like the accordion is closed. Like this Accordion --Canvas minHeight=0 label=Section 1 YourComponent includeinLayout=false --Canvas minHeight=0 label=Section 2 YourComponent includeinLayout=false Then when they click any tab, set the includeInLayout property of the child of the canvas to true.

PHP inheritance is available now. A good tutorial is at http://www.webreference.com/programming/php/class_inherit/ AMFPHP (And WebORB) allow you to map objects between PHP and Flex. You would connect to your database in PHP and create an array of objects to return to Flex. AMFPHP serializes these objects and sends them to Flex.

If you can't find the error, post the json output that is causing the

your php script), as well as the AS3 code that you wrote to decode the

[flexcoders] AMFPHP and HierarchicalData

[flexcoders] Re: skinClass in external library
It is possible using ANT scripts and library-path to compile your CSS sheet containing skinClass reference. Maciek, dependency can be satisfied with style sheets loaded at runtime.

[flexcoders] Re: ComboBox in Component won't open to Saved Value
Tracy
I must be missing something here.
I have a combobox with a dataprovider of an arraycollection that is
returned from a MySQL database. This is populated on creationcomplete.
Once this arrayCollection is populated I make another call to get
specific data. Part of this data is a field that corresponds to an
item in the combobox.
When the second call returns, all I do is:
platformComboBox.selectedItem = SDActionItem.platform;
SDActionItem is the DTO returned from the second call and platform is
one of it's fields that correspond to an item in the combobox.
This works every time and I do not have to loop through the data provider.
Are you telling me that this should not work?

When a match is found, use the loop indes to set the ComboBox's

If you need this often, then you might want to use an extended ComboBox.
Making a generic one is a bit tricky, because the Combo Box dataProvider

[flexcoders] ANSWER - Re: LiveCycleDS - Problem Accessing RemoteObject over Secure AMF
So I guess LCDS 2.6 did change some things, such as not having the flex-bootstrap JAR (not sure if this code moved somewhere else or not). But basically I updated my web.xml so all of the LCDS 2.5 stuff (as mentioned in the earlier post) is gone and I only have the servlet mapping and definition for MessageBrokerServlet and now all is well.

Why are you doing that in the open event? Try
creationComplete
instead. Or set it directly without the function. Or bind
selectedIndex to a bindable variable.

In your code you have

So, is $_GET['getOrder'] set? if so, you will get the error as the

If you can't find the error, post the json output that is causing the
error to be thrown (the json encoded data that is being returned from
your php script), as well as the AS3 code that you wrote to decode the
json data here and I can take a look at it for you. However, like
Haykel said, more often than not this type of error is caused by a
simple syntax error in your json return.

[flexcoders] Trying to Embrace MVC
This question is one part philosphical, one part technical. I am trying to embrace the idea of an MVC framework and abstraction. I started a new project with the following setup and am wondering if this is logical and, if so, how will this benefit me in the future? Thanks for any feedback. I have a main MXML page, which I refer to as the parent, which would be considered the controller. The controller knows all about the other components that it calls. On the controller I have code that makes components visible, adds event listeners to UI elements like buttons within the components, and functions that respond when those listeners hear something. I have many component MXML pages, which have no reference within them to the controller since they are not suppose to depend on the controller. They contain UI elements, code to populate drop-down boxes, public variables that the controller can poke values into, and models that hold the data that the controller will send to the web service, which in my case is a cfc. The cfc has functions in it which call table-valued functions and stored procedures. This is so different than traditional CF programming, I can't even tell if it makes sense or not.
RE: [flexcoders] Log4J like library
I guess because you have no server-side component then will have to build what you are suggesting. Because yes, only by configuring debug will it spit out the logging statements.

I am trying to save a value from a popup and get it back when the list is
double clicked and the form is represented with a different record selected.
Not exactly rocket science.
I have tried every single event and nada.
Is there an on Load Why not? It seems so obvious.
Creation complete only works the first time the form component is presented.
The functions are
private function closeRolePop(event:Event):void {
ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem.label};
private function openRolePop(event:Event):void {
var i:uint;
for(i=0; i arrRoles.length; i++){

Why are you doing that in the open event?
Try
creationComplete
instead. Or set it directly without the function. Or
bind
selectedIndex to a bindable variable.

I tried this before.

The ComboBox opened to the zero value not the 1.
When I clicked on the box it opened to have the 1

ComboBox.selectedItem will only work if you
assign a
*reference to an
item in the ComboBox dataProvider*. This is
rarely
possible and is not
in your case.
What you must do is loop over the items in the
CobmoBox.dataProvider and
compare the appropriate property's value to
the
value
you want to match.
When a match is found, use the loop indes to set
the
ComboBox's
selectedIndex. This is simple enough to do in a
one-off
situation.
If you need this often, then you might want to
use an
extended ComboBox.
Making a generic one is a bit tricky, because the
Combo Box
dataProvider
items can have any properties at all. I have an
example on
www.cflex.net http://www.cflex.net/
http://www.cflex.net/ (it
allows you
to set the data
field you want to match) and Ben forta has done
one
and
there are
others.

Hi
I have a ComboBox used as a Popup on a form

It saves fine using the following function

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox in Component won't open to Saved Value
The Combobox by itself does not really support what you're trying to do.
As Tracy said there is sample code you can draw on to extend the
ComboBox to accept a 'selectedValue' parameter or something of the sort,
which in turn will fire internal logic to determine which item in the
dataProvider matches and to set the selectedIndex accordingly.
The other part of this is using binding. To have your instantiated
combobox to update its selectedIndex when a value changes you need to
reference a bindable value. If another code alters that value, it will
then re-fire the internal logic in your custom ComboBox.

Re: [flexcoders] Trying to Embrace MVC
Hi, I tend to use the PureMVC framework and would typically architecture like this: View = the UI interface i.e. form, grid, lsit etc. (in PureMVC a Mediator handles responses from the UI and pushes to the rest of the framework) Controller = handles these responses and passes to the Model. Model = interacts with the remoting aspect i.e. CF and passes the data back out in an event system. http://www.nutrixinteractive.com/blog/?page_id=111 Check that link for my WIKI and see my PureMVC AS3 / Flex / CF Demo - Query a CFC Cheers, Simon On 8 Oct 2008, at 16:58, shortgrass23 wrote: This question is one part philosphical, one part technical. I am trying to embrace the idea of an MVC framework and abstraction. I started a new project with the following setup and am wondering if this is logical and, if so, how will this benefit me in the future? Thanks for any feedback. I have a main MXML page, which I refer to as the parent, which would be considered the controller. The controller knows all about the other components that it calls. On the controller I have code that makes components visible, adds event listeners to UI elements like buttons within the components, and functions that respond when those listeners hear something. I have many component MXML pages, which have no reference within them to the controller since they are not suppose to depend on the controller. They contain UI elements, code to populate drop-down boxes, public variables that the controller can poke values into, and models that hold the data that the controller will send to the web service, which in my case is a cfc. The cfc has functions in it which call table-valued functions and stored procedures. This is so different than traditional CF programming, I can't even tell if it makes sense or not.
[flexcoders] Scaling text
I have a requirement to display some text overlaid on some graphics. The catch is that the whole thing must render at different sizes and the length of the text is variable (data driven). And of course, the aspect ratio of the graphic should be preserved. I've dabbled with Degrafa. I've fiddled with font size computed dynamically in a binding expression. I've mucked with measureText(). I even took a stab at a custom component I sent to the list earlier, that tries to scale any child to fit, preserving aspect ratio and centering as required. But the variable length of the text really means that I can't have a reference size for the whole composition unless I scale or size the text to fit in a certain area. Can anyone point me at some useful examples or components. Even just an example of a label whose font size changes as its text does, and when its container is resized. Thanks.

Are you telling me that there is no simply way to have a user pick a value from
a popup then redisplay that value in the popup if he goes back to the record
again later?
Is this a joke or a programing language?
Somebody forgot to include an event that says if this record has a value show
it in the popup?
No you got to be pulling my chain. If you are not then this is a useless joke.

[flexcoders] Reading sound thru remote cgi-bin generating wav
Hi, I am trying to play a sound which would be sent through a remote cgi-bin executable which reads a wav file and writes it to stdout. When I access that cgi-bin executable through IE, I can save the wav file (even if it saves it as the same name as cgi-bin executable). However, when I connect to it using Sound.load(URLRequest(http://xxx/cgi-bin/exec;), I don't hear any sound despite a progress event saying that bytes are being loaded. There could be several things going wrong, and I am not able to debug what's up. - I want to start playing to sound as soon as a sufficient amount is loaded, that's why my progress event handler checks if number of bytes loaded is more than 1MB and if so, it issues Sound.play. Is that correct? Do I need something special for 'streaming'? - The cgi-bin executable writes the Content-type: audio/x-wav\n\n first and then the wav file. That works fine with a browser. Does that mess up Sound.load though? Should the cgi-bin just send the wav file over? Will URLRequest or load be smart enough to check the header (RIFF) and know it is wav? Any other clues why I may not be able to play the sound? Any place in FlexBuilder where I can actually see the buffer that has been loaded by Sound.load()? Thank you
[flexcoders] Best Flex Graphics Library for me?
An open ended question regarding the best choice in graphics libraries for Flex... I'm approaching the stage where I'm going to have to start including some more sophisticated graphics in my application. Ultimately I need to develop a flexible tree of linked icons (like an organizational chart). Each icon will be relatively complex and active (a bitmap will not work). The icons will initially be developed by graphics designers who are not Flex-savvy, so I will need to work with a standard vector format like SVG. The icons need to be joined by lines with arrow-heads - preferably intelligent lines that flow around the icons. Degrafa looked like an excellent choice because it looks like it supports SVG, but Degrafa doesn't offer lines with arrow-heads, let alone intelligent lines. FXG is emerging in Flex 4 but that is a standard unknown to all graphics designers. The community has done a lot of work, but all that code might become obsolete if a standard emerges.

[flexcoders] AdvancedDataGridHeaderRenderer loses focus on set dataProvider
Take a look at this video (sorry the mouse cursor does not appear in it): http://screencast.com/t/VECik0vjuk Every time the dataProvider is set the textfield loses focus, and I can't find a way to restore it. So essentially on each key stroke the textfield loses focus, which renders it useless inside the advanceddatagridheaderrenderer. I'll provide source if necessary, just looking for a quick fix if there is one. Sincerely, Ryan Gravener http://twitter.com/ryangravener

RE: [flexcoders] ComboBox in Component won't open to Saved Value
Depends on what you mean by simple. It will just take a few lines of
code.
The difficulty lies in knowing which lines.
Going ballistic in frustration is never helpful.
Take this one step at a time. Make sure you can call your function when
the pop-up opens. Make sure you have the value you want to set the
combo box to at that point.
You have not shown us much code, so we can't really say what is wrong.

The Combobox by itself does not really support what

Are you telling me that there is no simply way to have a user pick a
value from a popup then redisplay that value in the popup if he goes
back to the record again later?
Is this a joke or a programing language?
Somebody forgot to include an event that says if this record has a value
show it in the popup?
No you got to be pulling my chain. If you are not then this is a useless

The Combobox by itself does not really support what

As Tracy said there is sample code you can draw on to
extend the
ComboBox to accept a 'selectedValue' parameter or
something of the sort,
which in turn will fire internal logic to determine which
item in the
dataProvider matches and to set the selectedIndex
accordingly.
The other part of this is using binding. To have your
instantiated
combobox to update its selectedIndex when a value changes
you need to
reference a bindable value. If another code alters that
value, it will
then re-fire the internal logic in your custom ComboBox.
{Bindable]
private var dp:Array =
[{data:'foo',label:'foo'},{data:'foo1',label:'foo1'},{data:'foo2',label:
'foo2'}];
[Bindable]
private var myVal:String = foo;
local:CustomComboBox dataProvider={dp}
selectedValue={myVal}/

I must be missing something here.
I have a combobox with a dataprovider of an arraycollection that is
returned from a MySQL database. This is populated on creationcomplete.
Once this arrayCollection is populated I make another call to get
specific data. Part of this data is a field that corresponds to an
item in the combobox.
When the second call returns, all I do is:
platformComboBox.selectedItem = SDActionItem.platform;
SDActionItem is the DTO returned from the second call and platform is
one of it's fields that correspond to an item in the combobox.
This works every time and I do not have to loop through the data
provider.
Are you telling me that this should not work?

What you must do is loop over the items in the CobmoBox.dataProvider

compare the appropriate property's value to the value you want to
match.
When a match is found, use the loop indes to set the ComboBox's
selectedIndex. This is simple enough to do in a one-off situation.
If you need this often, then you might want to use an extended
ComboBox.
Making a generic one is a bit tricky, because the Combo Box
dataProvider
items can have any properties at all. I have an example on
www.cflex.net http://www.cflex.net/ http://www.cflex.net/ (it
allows you to set the data

[flexcoders] Using PureMVC on a larger scale application
I have been playing aroung with PureMVC a bit lately and the part that I still get a bit confused on is how to use the framework in a larger scale application. In general I find that various pieces of my application could each use the MVC pattern by themself (for example if I had a list component, a controlbar, and various other assets, each of them could easily use the MVC pattern to define their own functionality). What's confusing to me is how to marry such an abstraction into a framework such as PureMVC. It would seem a bit counter-intuitive to include all of these things under one Facade, but maybe I'm wrong here? This question is raised again when I think of structuring out a large application that contains many different screens each with their own set of components and functionality (each of which could use the MVC pattern).. How would you go about laying out such an application using the MVC framework? This may all be completely obvious, and I'm just getting too caught up in learning the framework to see the answer right in front of me, but perhaps someone could point me in the right direction? Thanks! -Kyle

No, that should not work unless SDActionItem.platform is a
reference to
an item in the ComboBox dataProvider.

I must be missing something here.
I have a combobox with a dataprovider of an arraycollection
that is
returned from a MySQL database. This is populated on
creationcomplete.
Once this arrayCollection is populated I make another call
to get
specific data. Part of this data is a field that
corresponds to an
item in the combobox.
When the second call returns, all I do is:
platformComboBox.selectedItem = SDActionItem.platform;
SDActionItem is the DTO returned from the second call and
platform is
one of it's fields that correspond to an item in the
combobox.
This works every time and I do not have to loop through the
data
provider.
Are you telling me that this should not work?

compare the appropriate property's value to the

When a match is found, use the loop indes to set the

If you need this often, then you might want to use an

Making a generic one is a bit tricky, because the

Hi
I have a ComboBox used as a Popup on a form component.
It saves fine using the following function
private function closeGenderPop(event:Event):void {
ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem.label};
I want to have it display the stored value the next

I tried this but no luck.
private function openGenderPop(event:Event):void {
genderPop.selectedIndex = 1;
ComboBox(event.target).selectedItem.label; }
Really appreciate the help

[flexcoders] Collapse branch in Tree changes selection but does not trigger CHANGE event
I think this is a bug, but am not sure. If I have a tree with a child item selected and then I collapse/close the branch containing that selection, the selection is automatically changed to the item I collapsed but no CHANGE event is triggered. Is this a bug? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Collapse-branch-in-Tree-changes-selection-but-does-not-trigger-CHANGE-event-tp19891670p19891670.html Sent from the FlexCoders mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

My problem is there seems to be no way to kick the event to
change the value. Here is the code, all of it.
It can be seen in action at
http://www.archaeolibrary.com/Gezer/Staff.html
Note: I have view source enabled and all files should be
represented.
Creation complete works on the first time only. Select
another staff member with a double click and the creation
complete does not go.
This is about as basic as data entry client server type
programming (a very huge market possiblity here),... gets.
This is not a flame. This is a valid point. This to me
brings into question the entire language. I have spent
months learning this stuff to start running into things so
basic as this I wonder if I have been wise in my time
investment. It tells me the creators are off on their own
gig, and meeting simple data needs of clients like showing
you what you picked the last time you were here, are not on
their minds. That means this is probably not an isolated
incidence. Is this really the product to use for data entry
over the web? or should I be headed into Javascript and Ajax
like everybody else. What else am I going to run into and
how much of a pain is this going to be? Anyway here is the
code, thank you for your time. A simple event to say

[flexcoders] Re: ComboBox in Component won't open to Saved Value
Nope, this won't work. Next call creates new instances which don't correspond to the instances from the first call. You have to loop through the dataProvider, find the corresponding item (by label, id, whatever) and say Combo.selectedItem = ArrayCollection(Combo.dataProvider).getItemAt(i) this will work. Cheers, Dmitri. I have a combobox with a dataprovider of an arraycollection that is returned from a MySQL database. This is populated on creationcomplete. Once this arrayCollection is populated I make another call to get specific data. Part of this data is a field that corresponds to an item in the combobox.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: ComboBox in Component won't open to Saved Value
Dan, what you're trying to do is a simple thing, but I think you're
complicating it.
Assuming you're using numbers or strings in your combobox and data, simply
bind selectedItem={ currentRecord.myValue }
If you're using something more complicated, say the dataprovider for the CB
is an array of objects and the record data has an ID in it, put this in your
popup:
[Bindable]
private var currentRecordOption : ComboOption;
function set currentRecord(value : newRecord) : void
{
//Do whatever you normally do
currentRecordOption = null;
for each (var option : ComboOption in myValidOptions)
{
if (option.id == value.optionId)
{
currentRecordOption = option;
break;
}
}
}
ComboBox dataprovider={myValidOptions}
selectedItem={currentRecordOption}/
Now, various parts of this can be optimised such as the searching, etc. But
this *will* work.
