Tim,
Thanks for all your help.
I've decided to do away with the editorDataField and simply added an
update function on the 'change' event inside the combobox itemEditor:
private function update(event:ListEvent):void {
data.CostCode = this.selectedItem.data;
}
Not sure if it's a good practice but I'm up and runnin'.
Thanks again for your help.
