RE: [flexcoders] Fwd: Pre selecting a combo box

[Shannon Hicks]

It's hard when you haven't done it before :)   Here's what your code should basically look like:   for (var i:number=0;i<myComboBox.dataProvider.length;i++) {     if (userObject.companyID == myComboBox.dataProvider.getItemAt(i).data) {         myComboBox.selectedIndex = i;         break;     } }   Shan From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Marlon Moyer Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 7:09 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Fwd: Pre selecting a combo box I've got a master detail form that works so far except for a combo box that's giving me fits.  The combo box is populated from an xml file that contains a company id and company name relabeled with the "label" and "data" headers.  The combo box populates correctly and I've verified that it returns the correct company id.  Now, for existing users, I want the combo box to automatically go to the correct company they're assigned to.  The user object has a company id.  I don't believe that I can do it with binding since it's expecting a selectedIndex vs a selected data value.  I've been experimenting around with trying to loop through the objects in the combobox, but I haven't had any luck doing so yet. Is it really this hard?  -- Marlon -- Marlon -- No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
