Re: [flexcoders] Newbie alert - Trying to populate combobox w. httpservice

you have to define the labelField when binding to 
dataProvider that has no label field.

mx:ComboBox id=cbEdition  labelField=myItem 
dataProvider={
  xmlEdition.lastResult.action.item}  /

 will be using the selected value as a parameter for a new http call.
 
 Any help will be really appreciated.
