I found you promissed to clarify something that I really need to know :)

"Can anyone tell me if we can change the dataprovider for a repeater, like w/ a cfgrid?

Neil,
yes, you must set it as:
theNameOfTheQuery.dataProvider = results;

the name of the query is the query that populates the repeater.
I will make an example of that when I get a minute.

would be great to hear.. thanks alot, your site is very usefull though I did not post anything here so far

I found it:

radioButtonName.selectedData = 'SOME_VALUE';

I was looking under RADIOBUTTON in the docs. I found what I needed under RADIOBUTTONGROUP.

Doh!

I found the answer (or at least, ONE answer) to dynamically (via remoting) selecting multiple items in a multiple select box. The way I finally got it to work was via the selectedIndices property. This is an array that holds the selected indexes, for example an array containing [1,7,3,8] would select the second, eigth, fourth and ninth elements in the drop down box (the order that they are listed in the array appears to be irrelevant).

I hope this helps SOMEONE, as it took me hours to figure out :)

Please keep in mind that my AS skills are very young :)

I have a select box, with a list of items and UUID's (the UUIDs are obviously the values). The select box (there are actually several, but I deal with one at a time) has a height of 3, and can accept multiple selections.

I call a CFC via remoting to pull up any past form submissions that the current user may have entered (its an online employment application). I needed to be able to "remember" any selections that the user may have submitted in the past for this select box.

The CFC returns a structure, one of the elements is an array containing the previously selected items for this select box.

With me so far? This is the code that goes through, determines what items SHOULD be selected, and then selects them

if (_root.sel_experienceManagement.length > 0 && results.management_experience.length > 0) {

var aTempHolder:Array = [];
for (var x:Number = 0;x <= _root.sel_experienceManagement.length;x++){
for (var y:Number = 0;y <= results.management_experience.length;y++) {
if (_root.sel_experienceManagement.getItemAt(x).data == results.management_experience[y]) {
aTempHolder.push(x);
}
}
}

Again, there may be an easier way to do this (this is the standard disclaimer I use for ALL of the AS posts I put here :), but this is the way I got to work after MUCHO research.

If anyone can improve it, please let me know. I appreciate it, and hope that this helps anyone who was having the same problem I was.
