[flexcoders] mx:ComboBox selectedItem ="{blah}" (flex 2)

[John C. Bland II]

I am working with some a combo and the custom component listing the states works perfectly fine for simply saying: selectedItem="{items.selectedItem.state}". It will change and work as expected (when the grid is clicked).
Well, that component is nothing but a mx:dataProvider with <mx:String> values inside. So the selectedItem is a string (when calling 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?
