I come from Flex Builder 3 and have run into what I'm sure is a real simple problem. I don't know how to use an ArrayList as the dataProvider for a ComboBox. Here's what I have in ActionScript:
[Bindable]
private var _cbxdp:ArrayList = new ArrayList ([
{label: '1 year'},
{label: '2 years'},
{label: '3 years'} ]);
And here's the combobox:
<s:ComboBox id="cbxWarrantyLength" width="125" dataProvider="{_cbxdp}" />
Compiles fine, etc. But when it loads the only thing in the combo box options are: [object Object] (three times, one for each option). In Flex Builder 3 all I would do is set the dataProvider to be like {_cbxdp.label} but I'm not sure how to do it in FB4. Any hints?

The code worked for me, I've pasted the complete code below for reference that I put in an AIR application ( just for quick testing)

<![CDATA[
import mx.collections.ArrayList;
[Bindable]
private var _cbxdp:ArrayList = new ArrayList ([
{label: '1 year'},
{label: '2 years'},
{label: '3 years'} ]);
]]>
</fx:Script>
<s:ComboBox id="cbxWarrantyLength" width="125" dataProvider="{_cbxdp}" />
</s:WindowedApplication>
