Type mismatch in assignment statement

[Digital Hand]

Hi all,

Here my problem

tcrComp1.method = method.selectedItem;

In the left side::
tcrComp1: an object of type TCRComponents
method : is an attribute of type String

In the right side::
method : is a comboBox that includes an array of Strings like

<mx:ComboBox id="method" width="50">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:Array>
<mx:String>post</mx:String>
<mx:String>get</mx:String>
</mx:Array>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:ComboBox>


I have tried to do the following

tcrComp1.method = String(method.selectedItem);
tcrComp1.method = method.selectedItem.toString;
tcrComp1.method = (String)method.selectedItem;

But all of them fail.
Where is the problem.? and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance

Is this in Flex 1.5 or Flex 2?

For flex 2 try the following code sample.



<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="vertical">

<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[

private var myObj:Object;

[Bindable]
private var debug:String;

private function changeHandler( event:Event ):void
{
myObj = new Object();
myObj.method = event.target.selectedItem as String;
debug = myObj.method;
}

]]>
</mx:Script>


<mx:ComboBox id="method" width="50" change="changeHandler(event)">
<mx:dataProvider>
<mx:String>post</mx:String>
<mx:String>get</mx:String>
</mx:dataProvider>
</mx:ComboBox>

<mx:Label text="{ debug }" />

</mx:Application>

Andrew Spaulding , thanks for your replay.

I am using Flex 1.5 right now.
