I have a Flex ComboBox that gets populated by a dataprovider all is well…

I would now like to add a default ‘ — select a item –‘ option at the 0 index, how can I do this and still use a dataprovider? I have not seen any examples of such, but I can’t imagine this being hard…

    If you don’t need the default item to be selectable you can use the prompt property of ComboBox and set the selectedIndex to -1. That will show the string you set propmt to as the selected value until the user chooses another. It will not appear in the list of options, however.
