If your trying to prevent addition of a new item. Try the preventDefault() from the changing event. Just check for the -3 new value.

Here is my code: if (selectedIndex == -3) { selectedIndex = -1; prompt = ""; } which works fine as long as the combo has data, but if no dataProvider has been specified that code will not clear user's entry. What would work is textInput.text = ""; but if I go back to the combo and try to enter another text it will not show first character I type in. Instead, the dropdown portion will be expended and if I continue typing then the characters starting from second one will start appearing. Any idea? Thanks
