A ComboBox takes a dataProvider that is an array of objects. You cannot hook up a ComboBox to a visual component the way you have done below. That is for components like TabBars and LinkBars, which can take a ViewStack object as its dataProvider.
What you would want to do is something like: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:Script> var mainViewStackDP = [{label:"View 1", index:0}, {label:"View 2", index:1}, ...]; </mx:Script> <mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{mainViewStackDP}" labelField="label" change="mainViewStack.selectedIndex=event.target.selectedItem. index;"/> -deepa -----Original Message----- From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of face7hill Sent: Monday, October 10, 2005 11:19 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Binding a ComboBox to a ViewStack Hi Everyone, Anybody have any luck binding a ViewStack as a dataProvider for a ComboBox? Is this even possible? I tried a couple of things but all I get is an empty ComboBox. Ideally, I'd like the ComboBox to use the "label" attribute from the ViewStack and use the ViewStack component id as the "data" field for the ComboBox. This seems like it would be pretty straight-forward but I have not been able to find anything in the docs/archives. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated! <!-- ViewStackComboBox.mxml --> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.macromedia.com/2003/mxml";> <mx:ComboBox id="mainComboBox" dataProvider="mainViewStack.selectedChild" /> <mx:ViewStack id="mainViewStack" width="100%" height="100%"> <mx:HBox id="view1" label="View 1"> <mx:Label text="This is view 1"/> </mx:HBox> <mx:HBox id="view2" label="View 2"> <mx:Label text="This is view 2"/> </mx:HBox> </mx:ViewStack> </mx:Application> -- Flexcoders Mailing List FAQ: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/flexcoders/files/flexcodersFAQ.txt Search Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com Yahoo!
