ComboBox with TextArea

[murad898]

Hi,

I’m looking for your help… please?

I have on flex file that consist of:
- ComboBox --> id=”com1” with dataprovidor =”{webService}” labelField =”FirstName”

- TextArea --> id = “txt1”


The web service list 10 Names…

I want to print the name in the TextArea after I choose it from the ComboBox..

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
public function selectName():void{
txt1.text=com1.selectedItem.FirstName;
}
]]>
</mx:Script>
<mx:ComboBox id= "com1" dataprovidor = "{webService}" labelField = "FirstName" close= "selectName()"/>
<mx:TextArea id= "txt1"/>


Your Welcome

Thankxxxx a lot, I used your code and it is working.

May I ask one more thing..

Suppose that my websirvece return FirstName and ID# for 10 users,,, in the ComboBox we already showed the FirstName.
I need to show the ID# in the TextArea for any choosen user name from the ComboBox.

It means that whenever I choose the FirstName from the ComboBox I will see its correspond ID in the TextArea.

How did you get the ID value I am working on similar problem. Is there a property for text and value on the combo box?

You can use this,
txt1.text=com1.selectedItem.ID;


this one will work
ComboBox.selectedItem.[any XML node]
