[flexcoders] ComboBox not updating

The full story is too long to relate and involves the component which has given me more grief than any other - ComboBox. I'm pretty sure I established a while ago that there's a bug in using a ComboBox with a bound value for selectedIndex. I have one whose dataprovider (and current selected index)

[flexcoders] Line chart with no axes

I have a line chart where the user can show/hide the left and right axes (which have custom colours) and the corresponding series. Works fine, except I get two left axes, my custom one and the default grey one which never goes away. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
