item selected cfselect with cfgrid

[Ian O'Betz]

If anyone's found a better way to make an item selected in a cfselect using
cfgrid that the following, let me know:

<cfgrid name="AddressGrid" format="Flash" query="Addresses" maxRows="5"
selectmode="edit" insert delete insertbutton="Add New Address"
deletebutton="Delete Selected Address"
onchange="for (var i:Number = 1; i<State.length; i++) {if
(State.getItemAt([i]).data == AddressGrid.selectedItem.State)
State.selectedIndex = i}">
<cfgridcolumn name="AddressID" display="no">
<cfgridcolumn name="Contact" header="Name">
<cfgridcolumn name="State" header="State">
</cfgrid>
<cfselect name="State" width="160" required message="State is a required
field.">
<cf_state7>
</cfselect>

After much time and effort spent reading flex docs, I just decided to loop
through the options in the select... Is this best coding practices?

This is the only reliable way I've been able to do it myself, so far.

Would you happen to know how to do the same thing with radio buttons instead of a select list?

TIA
