[Xerte] Combobox thing

[Julian Tenney]

Make the array yourself and set null as the first item?

Here's the dode from the engine:

cbo = this.attachMovie("FComboBoxSymbol", "cbo"+this.levels, this.levels);
                this["cbo"+this.levels]._x = x;
                this["cbo"+this.levels]._y = y;
                if (w != undefined) {
                                cbo.setSize(w, h);
                }
                cbo.index = this.pages.length;
                //set up items...
                if (items.indexOf('{') == 0) {
                                var cboItems = expression(items.substr(1, items.length-2), engine).split('~');
                } else {
                                var cboItems = items.split('~');
                }
                //set up data...
                if (data != undefined) {
                                if (data.indexOf('{') == 0) {
                                                var dataItems = expression(data.substr(1, data.length-2), engine).split('~');
                                } else {
                                                var dataItems = data.split('~');
                                }
                }
                for (var i = 0; i<cboItems.length; i++) {
                                cbo.addItem(cboItems[i], dataItems[i]);
                }
                cbo.setStyleProperty("background", STYLES.statusBarColour);
                cbo.setStyleProperty("selection", STYLES.titleBarColour);
                cbo.setStyleProperty("textColor", STYLES.textUnselected);
                cbo.setStyleProperty("textSelected", STYLES.textSelected);
                cbo.setChangeHandler("onComboChange");
                cbo.getItem = function() {
                                return this.getSelectedItem().label;
                };
                cbo.getData = function() {
                                return this.getSelectedItem().data;
                };
                cbo.tabIndex = getTabIndex();
                cbo.onSetFocus = function() {
                                speak("Options. "+this.getSelectedItem().label+" selected. Use the arrow keys to select");
                };
                cbo._accProps = new Object();
                cbo._accProps.name = "combobox";
                Accessibility.updateProperties();
                this.responses.push(cbo);
                return cbo;

Any way to set the default entry to ''  ?

Say we have these items:
New York~Moscow~Tokyo~London

New York appears in the default position, as well as the first dropdown list item.
Can I get a blank box initially?

I tried dropdownrs.topLabel.label = '';
But that blanks the New York in the first list position as well.
