I have a panel with a ComboBox or even a DropDownList.
The dataprovider is a list which I get from a web service.
I want to have the default item selected.
However, I do not know the index but the id of the default item and so I
have to look that up.
But by the time the dataList is populated from the webservice, the CB or DDL
is already drawn.
At first, I created a function to lookup the index and return the index and
bound that to the CB but this didnt work. Nothing was selected.
ComboBox id="xCB" selectedIndex="{lookupfunction}"
So, I figured the issue was that the data was not loaded yet when the
function was ran. So I put an event dispatch at the getResults of the
webservice call and then added an eventListener and when the event was fired
telling me that the data was loaded, I then assigned the selectedIndex. But
again, nothing was selected. Any Ideas?
protected function colors_colorsResultsHandler(event:ResultsLists):void
{
colorsCB.selectedIndex = colors.lookupNdxByID(defaultColor);
}
