Files Index.mxml , Tab1.mxml , Tab2.mxml, EditRole.mxml.
Index.mxml has two tabs Tab1 and Tab2.
Tab1 - Has a edit button and a combo Box which is populated with xml data from external file (i.e ' role.xml ' which has role tag with 'name' as attribute) and comboBox selectedItem is set to zero.On click of edit button currentState changes to editState, where in the selectedItem from combo box is edited (i.e role name).Edit state has save and cancel button on click currentState changes to viewState,displaying back the combo box with edit button.
Tab2 - Displays the same xml data in List.
Working fine :
Select any value from comboBox and click on Tab2 and click back on Tab1 the selectedIndex is reset to zero.
Issue :
Select value from comboBox and click edit (state changes to editState) make changes and click save/cancel (state changes to viewState) the comboBox is set to selectedIndex zero. Select the value other than first item in comboBox, click Tab2 and click Tab1 the comboBox selectedItem is not reset to zero the value previously selected remains as selected. Although on Alert.show(String(comboBox.selectedIndex)) displays 0 !!
After state change the values are not displaying the data they are assigned.
Can anybody please explain reason for this behavior.
Code :
Below code is simplest way I could put the above issue.
