How do I set the selected value of a combobox to that of the data 
returned from the database record?

i dont know whether there is a better way or not but i've used the fallowing 
way.
assume needed_val is the variable which is equal to the  data of the one which 
should be selected (number in the example)
mx:ComboBox labelField='name' dataProvider={blaReq.lastResult.valS.val} 
selectedIndex={findMyVal(me,needed_val)} id='me'


and in the findMyVal function:
private function findMyVal(obj:ComboBox , wanted:Number):Number{
for (var i:Number=0 ; i  obj.dataProvider.length;i++){
if(wanted = = obj.dataProvider[i].id ) //i assumed that the data label 
is id of the dataProvider
return i;
}
return 0;
}

whenever the dataProvider is refreshed, the function will automatically be 
called and set the right selected index...
by the way, i did not copy and paste a code so it may include some typing 
errors, but the logic is this...

i wish it helps, if this does not work, send a reply and  i can send a copy 
paste code that surely works.
