Not a stupid question at all! If you have a list that has an id="myList", you can inspect the selectedIndices array property.
Here is some code (courtesy of Flex 2 Help in Eclipse) to help illustrate: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"; layout="vertical"> <mx:Script> private function showListSelection():void { trace(); // breakpoint inserted here! } </mx:Script> <mx:Model id="mystates"> <states> <state label="Alabama" data="AL"/> <state label="Alaska" data="AK"/> <state label="Arizona" data="AZ"/> <state label="Arkansas" data="AR"/> <state label="California" data="CA"/> <state label="Colorado" data="CO"/> <state label="Connecticut" data="CT"/> </states> </mx:Model> <mx:List id="source" width="100%" color="blue" dataProvider="{mystates.state}" allowMultipleSelection="true"/> <mx:Button label="show selection" click="showListSelection()"/> </mx:Application> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you throw a break point in at the trace(), then you can drill down to the selectedIndices property of that list. I hope this helps. - mike "Lisa Lee" To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: Sent by: Subject: [flexcoders] Multiple Selections in a List flexcoders@yahoogroups.com 01/05/2007 01:55 PM Please respond to flexcoders I hate asking what I think is probably a very stupid question, but being so new to Flex, I am still quite wet behind the ears....I have an <mx:List> and I have set the "allowMultipleSelection" property to true...my question is, how do I determine what selection(s) the user has selected, if they're selected more than one? <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.controls.List; [Bindable] private var serviceTypeTemp:ArrayCollection; private function serviceTypeHandler2(event:ResultEvent):void { serviceTypeTemp = event.result.serviceTypeData.serviceType; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:HTTPService id="serviceTypeRPC" url="http://development/dev1/workspaces/lisa/webservicedata/se rvicetypedata.xml" result="serviceTypeHandler2(event)"/> <mx:List id="stComboList" dataProvider="{serviceTypeTemp}" labelField="description" allowMultipleSelection="true"/> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail message (including attachments, if any) is intended for the use of the individual or entity to which it is addressed and may contain information that is privileged, proprietary , confidential and exempt from disclosure.
