Hi Will,
There is also a "prompt" attribute for the mx:ComboBox component that may be what you are looking for.
That way you don't have to modify the dataProvider and once a selection is made the prompt doesn't show again.
<mx:ComboBox dataProvider="{cards}" prompt="Please Select a Card Type"…>
If you always want the prompt value to be in the list then go with Stacey's approach.
regards,
peter

Joshi - thanks, but that wasn't quiet what I was looking for. Stacey - that kinda works, but I need to tweet it a little - thank you for the pointer!

Any idea how I can add the usual "Select An Item" as the first label
to a comboBox? The labels are from a webservice and I'm using
lableField="GAL_NAME" so there isn't one available to me. How do I add
that into the dataProvider?
Any help appreciated. Thanks, Will.
