Hi,
i’m working with your component. I see a stange behaviour: in the components:AutoComplete id=”ac1″ i changed requireSelection=”false” and then i entered some values. If i entered value that doesn’t match dataprovider when i leave component, combobox has null value (example if i input ‘ss’) , if i put a value (‘aa’) and the leave component: combobox is not null and contains ‘aa’ that doesn’t belong to dataprovider. Is there a way to change this ?
Thank
Michele

Also, please consider adding tabIndex as an attribute for the field, it does not currently handle this and is very important for accessibility (and just nice to have on larger forms).

Thanks for the nice autocomplete component, works just as I was looking for! However, I’m having one issue with it. When I put my autocomplete textfields inside a mx:FormItem with a label, the label gets pushed to the top. Whereas the normal textfield labels in the same form are properly aligned to the middle of the field. Any idea what would cause this or how to fix it?

I guess it was as easy as setting prefixOnly property to “false”.

Thank You

Ok, found out how to do this myself. Removed lines 321 – 324 in the Autocomplete.as file. The following lines where the item is being set to null

if (collection.length==0){
_selectedIndex = -1;
selectedItem = null;
}

Is there anyway to allow for free text as well as the dropdown list?

For example, when using as in input field, as people type in the text box for a first name, they will see a list that help them pick a list of predefined common names, but they are still free to enter their own name. eg – “J” (shows John, Jenny, Jake) … “John” (only two items left in the list “John”, “Johno”)… user enters “Johnster” which might be their actual name and continues on with the rest of the form

Thanks for sharing the code.

If we have to dynamic dataProvider. When user press the “A” it should fetch the data from there server and show them in list
