Thanks for the idea, but we have already tried that. It just seems
as though it can't handle complex types. It seems like it only
works properly with Object types. It rendered the list with the
complex type (Value object), but it highlighted the last visible
item when the dropdown list is displayed and doesn't highlight on
mouseover. Not sure if it's a bug or just not supported.
Ended up using code similar to this ...
// Combo box is bound to the boundArray with the labelField being
// set to the "value" field and the data beign set to the "code"
field.
var resultArray:Array = event.result as Array;
var boundArray:Array = new Array(resultArray.length);
for (var i:int = 0;i<resultArray.length; i++) {
boundArray[i] = {value:resultArray[i].value,code:resultArray
[i].code};
}
