I'm working on a Flex mobile application targeting both iOS and Android. I'm currently using Eskimo library for different controls, one of them is the I've been using for a long time across different versions of AIR.
However, I've upgraded my project to run the latest AIR 4.0 so I can go along with the latest news from Apple (you can find a thread talking about that here)
And since then, everytime I'm trying to retrieve the selected item, as following:
if (registeredUsersCombo.selectedItem)
{
// Do something
}
I'm getting the following exception (I don't have access to the lines specified in the two first sentences):
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.

Did anyone encountered the same issue? Maybe I could work it around using .getSelectedLabelDisplay() which is still working, but it's really not the cleanest solution in my opinion.
EDIT: I've noticed something interesting. The issue is occurring when I try to get the selectedItem directly from the component ID, as in the following:
myCombo.selectedItem // Exception thrown
However, if the same ComboBox is reached through an event handler, the selectedItem() is working fine !
event.currentTarget.selectedItem; // event.currentTarget being the ComboBox, this is working
I think the component does not init completely before you call registeredUsersCombo.selectedItem , Please show more code
