PLease help. Thanx in advance.

The combobox that you want is just a normal combobox only the items are visually different.

So when you get the data inside your itemRenderer with:

  override public function set data(value:Object):void
        {
            super.data = value; 
                if (data.isChild == false){
                    this.mainLabel.setStyle("fontWeight","bold");
                }else if (data.isChild == true){
                    this.mainLabel.setStyle("fontWeight","normal");
                }
        }

You call a function that checks if a boolean in that data is true or false. If it is false a Label is bold. If trueLabel is normal.

But for this solution you have to have access to the data that you get.
