RE: [flexcoders] Re: mx:ComboBox selectedItem ={blah} (flex 2)
If the contents of the list is a string
setting selectedItem should just work. If its an object and you have a ref
to the same object in the CB, setting selectedItem should work.
If you just have matching values youll
probably need to loop, unless the objects in the dataProvider implement IUID
and then you could try to pass an object that has the same uid value as the one
you want to select. That of course is harder to pull off.

I've already tried that.
Well, not getItemAt because I used items.selectedItem (same thing).

mycombo.selectedItem) as opposed to an object.
My question is, when you have an object as the dp to a combo
(or
any other
component with selectedItem) how do you set the selected
item
without doing
a loop + if to find the proper selectedIndex?
