how to create blank row in 1st row of combobox?

[AshleyOwens]

I would like to populate the 1st row of a combobox with a blank value. The rest of the combobox would be populated from the database. This way, upon initial load of the combobox, there are no values selected and the user is forced to choose a value.

Ashley,

   If you are using an mx:Combobox then just use prompt attribute. If you are using spark  then use s:DropDownList and the prompt attribute and not the s:Combobox.

Perfect! Thanks for the response. Here is my code:

<mx:ComboBox id="cboSubSubSearch" visible="false" prompt="Select one..." />
