DropDropList bug fix
http://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-22535 - Rolling over a programmatically opened Spark DropDownList causes the DropDownList to close itself
In ButtonBase, when the keepDown property was set to true while the mouse was not over the button, a subsequent rollover caused the ButtonDown event to be dispatched. The fix is to change keepDown from a property to a function and introduce a second parameter that stops the Button from dispatching the ButtonDown in this situation.
DropDownController needs to call keepDown in two different ways depending upon whether the component was opened via mouse interaction on the button or via keyboard interaction / programmatically. I didn?\226?\128?\153t want to add a new parameter to the public API, so I refactored the function and change the way it is called internally.

Answer 1

This bug figures out also when creating a custom spark ComboBox, then trying to programatically update the userProposedSelectedIndex property. The proposed selected index is selected, but does not apply the same skin as when mouse is on rollover or item is selected due to up and down keys.
The issue seems like updating the status of the item renderer to rollover or selected to get the same skin applied.
Please could you attach DropDow nList.as that you edited ?
Thank you so much.
