As long as you're happy...
I don't understand how you can expect to choose an item from a dataprovider if the dataprovider isn't already set. If you're seeing the dp change before the selected item is set, that implies that you are not setting the selectedItem in the same "script" as when the dataprovider is set. Flash/Flex is a deferred rendering environment. ________________________________ From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of markgoldin_2000 Sent: Thursday, January 10, 2008 9:14 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Setter question Yes, I am basically doing the same. But I can't agree that DP must be set first. Maybe from Flex's point of view it does, but not from the user's. If you set DP first and then load your form's data then for a short period of time(and maybe not really short) you will see wrong values (actually first items) in all your combos till form is loaded. Not big of a deal, but I dont like to see wrong data on the screen at all times. I have got it working, it just more coding, that's all. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com <mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com> , "Alex Harui" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You might find this article helpful: > > http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/selecteditem_and_combobox.html <http://blogs.adobe.com/aharui/2008/01/selecteditem_and_combobox.html> > > > > That way you can find the item you want to be selected after the DP is > set.
