i have this XMLList:
<fx:XMLList id="Generic List" xmlns="">
<menuitem label="First entry" url="www.aaa.com"/>
<menuitem label="Second entry" url="www.bbb.com"/>
<menuitem label="Third Entry" url="www.ccc.com"/>
</fx:XMLList>
I want to randomly select in my combobox (code not displayed) one of these menu item picked randomly. I'm using Flex Builder 4,6.
Thanks for your help.
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx" minWidth="955" minHeight="600">
<fx:Declarations>
<fx:XMLList id="genericList" xmlns="">
<menuitem label="First entry" url="www.aaa.com"/>
<menuitem label="Second entry" url="www.bbb.com"/>
<menuitem label="Third Entry" url="www.ccc.com"/>
</fx:XMLList>
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.XMLListCollection;
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:ComboBox
id="cbEntry"
dataProvider="{new XMLListCollection(genericList)}"
labelField="@label"
creationComplete="{cbEntry.selectedIndex = Math.floor(cbEntry.dataProvider.length * Math.random());}"/>
</s:Application>
