In Adobe Flex, in order to select an item in a ComboBox, you use the .selectedIndex property. However, there might be times that you want to specify the item to be selected based on something other than it’s position in the list.

I have found two potential solutions:

1. ComboBox2 from Ben Forta, Flex evangelist, is a ComboBox component which allows you to specify a “selectedValue” property.
    
2. VAComboBox from Codieron, LTD. (BSD license)
