I think that's been reported as a bug. Try setting the .text property to the correct value.

It works the first time the view is created, however once I swap the model object... it goes back to the prompt value always. <mx:ComboBox id="referredByComboBox" prompt="Select or type a value" editable="true" dataProvider="{model.availableReferredBy}" labelField="value" change=" model.client.referredBy=event.currentTarget.text" text="{model.client.referredBy}" /> Note, if I have a textinput bound to {model.client.referredBy} it does display the correct value when the model is swapped. So I know the value is there. Object Descriptions: model is [Bindable] model.availableReferredBy : ArrayCollection of a bindable object model.client : Custom bindable object model.client.referredBy : String So... should this be possible or should I create a component that has a dropdown attached to it that only updates the textinput on itemClick? I can provide more information if needed. Thanks for any help -- Scotty Scott http://www.franciswscott.com <http://www.franciswscott.com>
