Is there any easy way to set the selected item using the id or do I need to create a function which goes thru the dataprovider and then get the selected index and set it. My code is as follows <mx:ComboBox id="terms" dataProvider="{termsSrv.result.mrTerms.status}" width="150"/> the result of termsSrv looks like <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <mrTerms> <status label="Net 30" data="1" /> <status label="American Express" data="2" /> </mrTerms> and I have the selected data as "2" what do I need to do so that the combobox will selected "American Express" Regards Rajesh J -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
