I have an ArrayCollection which is the dataProvider for a combobox in a custom component. However the ArrayCollection is located in the application so I assign it to the custom component via actionscript in the component.
When I call addItem on the ArrayCollection the items go into the combobox, however the first element is always blank. How can I can get rid of this and get the combobox to add only the items I am adding to the ArrayCollection?
