In the original, selecting an item from the kingdom comboBox would trigger another remoting call passing the selected item as an argument. The second call would result in the phylum comboBox being populated. I can't get it to work in Flex. I can populate the phylum comboBox if I pass an explicit argument, but I just can't seem to find a way to access the 'selectedItem' from the kingdom comboBox checking what I'm referencing I either get an [object][object] or undefined! :-( I've tried various things like selectedItem.data, getSelectedItem() etc etc Has anyone else done this and got an insight? I've read various bits of documentation and searched this lists archive, but I seem to be missing something? Here's a summary version of my code - any insight would be very much appreciated.
