For more information, and an example, see <a href="http://blog.flexexamples.com/2009/08/05/changing-the-opening-and-closing-easing-functions-on-a-halo-combobox-control-in-flex-4/" rel="nofollow">"Changing the opening and closing easing functions on a Halo ComboBox control in Flex 4"</a>. Peter @JCKodel,

But, I <em>do</em> have a few other workarounds you could try: 1) Use the StyleManager to globally override the easing functions for all ComboBox controls: <pre lang="mxml"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" initialize="init();"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.effects.easing.Bounce; private function init():void { var styObj:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("ComboBox"); styObj.setStyle("openEasingFunction", Bounce.easeOut); } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:ComboBox id="cb1" dataProvider="[The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps,Over,The,Lazy,Dog]" openDuration="2000" /> <mx:ComboBox id="cb2" dataProvider="[The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps,Over,The,Lazy,Dog]" openDuration="2000" /> </mx:Application> </pre> -- or -- 2) Extend the ComboBox control and specify the <code>openEasingFunction</code> style in the MXML. Then you can use the custom ComboBox control and still just change the openEasingFunction style in one place and have it change all ComboBox controls in your entire site. <pre lang="mxml"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" xmlns:comps="comps.*"> <comps:CustomComboBox id="customCB" dataProvider="[The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps,Over,The,Lazy,Dog]" openDuration="2000" /> </mx:Application> </pre> And the custom ComboBox component, comps/CustomComboBox.mxml, is as follows: <pre lang="mxml"> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:ComboBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" openEasingFunction="Bounce.easeOut"> <mx:Script> import mx.effects.easing.Bounce; </mx:Script> </mx:ComboBox> </pre> Hope that helps, Peter @JCKodel,

Unfortunately, I do not believe that syntax is supported by the Flex compiler.
But, I do have a few other workarounds you could try:

1) Use the StyleManager to globally override the easing functions for all ComboBox controls:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        initialize="init();">
 
    <mx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.effects.easing.Bounce;
 
            private function init():void {
                var styObj:CSSStyleDeclaration = StyleManager.getStyleDeclaration("ComboBox");
                styObj.setStyle("openEasingFunction", Bounce.easeOut);
            }
        ]]>
    </mx:Script>
 
    <mx:ComboBox id="cb1"
            dataProvider="[The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps,Over,The,Lazy,Dog]"
            openDuration="2000" />
 
    <mx:ComboBox id="cb2"
            dataProvider="[The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps,Over,The,Lazy,Dog]"
            openDuration="2000" />
 
</mx:Application>

– or –

2) Extend the ComboBox control and specify the openEasingFunction style in the MXML. Then you can use the custom ComboBox control and still just change the openEasingFunction style in one place and have it change all ComboBox controls in your entire site.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
        xmlns:comps="comps.*">
 
    <comps:CustomComboBox id="customCB"
            dataProvider="[The,Quick,Brown,Fox,Jumps,Over,The,Lazy,Dog]"
            openDuration="2000" />
 
</mx:Application>

And the custom ComboBox component, comps/CustomComboBox.mxml, is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:ComboBox xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" openEasingFunction="Bounce.easeOut">
 
    <mx:Script>
        import mx.effects.easing.Bounce;
    </mx:Script>
 
</mx:ComboBox>

Hope that helps,
Peter
