I am running into a problem in Flex 3 that seems to be different from Flex 2.
Maybe someone can help.

I have a function for setting a combobox selected item for a location for a
value when the titlewindow completes loading. The value is a prior value from
a prior save. In other words to set the combobox a value from a prior session.

The locations xml file is loaded from a remote object oncreationcomplete of
the titlewindow. The setselectedvalue function worked perfectly in Flex 2 but
now only works in Flex 2 after the titlewindow is loaded. We tested this by
running the setselectedvalue function from a button click after loading.

The dataprovider length is showing 0 in our debugging. After titlewindow up
on screen the length is showing correct ( 35 ) - in this case. Our
viewxmlobject function is showing no xml. Shows xml correctly after up on
screen.

I have set the creationpolicy to "all". That did not help either.

Any suggestions? Anyone. This is killing me. Spent two days now trying to
get back to working state.


private function SetSelectedValue_cbLocation(): void {
var xLocID:String = eLocationID.text;
//viewXmlObject( cbLocation.dataProvider )

for (var i : int = 0; i < cbLocation.dataProvider.length ; i++) {
//Alert.show( cbLocation.dataProvider[i].locid, 'Location DataProvider',
Alert.OK);
if ( xLocID == cbLocation.dataProvider[i].locid ){
cbLocation.selectedIndex = i;
break;
}
}

}


The combobox has the dataprovider set at design time.

<components:is2ComboBox id="cbLocation" x="585" y="4" width="196"
dataProvider="{xmlLocations.Record}" labelField="locname" dataField="locid"
change="changeLocation(event)" disabledColor="#004080" prompt="1. Please select
location"></components:is2ComboBox>

Hard to say without seeing the code. Is the application opening a pop-up window
(the title window)? If so, where is the combo box located? In the main app or
the titleWindow? What calls the SetSelectedValue_cbLocation() function?
