Spark ComboBox vs DropDownList

I discovered yesterday that with the new Spark components there was no "editable" property on the ComboBox component.

I realized that the Spark ComboBox is always editable by default, and with no way to turn that off I was confused. Did a little research and found that to have what would have been ComboBox editable="false" in Halo is now simply DropDownList. Two different components.

I think it makes sense to have these separate.

Absolute bummer!! Why the heck do these guys make simple and beautiful things look ugly and complicated?!! Another example.... I tried using the spark "line" for drawing a seemingly simple line!!!... guys use a rect with a fill color instead and reduce its height... trust me!! cheers!! ;)

Hi,
We can make editable false in spark combobox like this
combobox.textInput.editable = false;
