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
