Description

Assigning a dataProvider using mxml and data binding causes a RTE unless the value is initialized.

main mxml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<js:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                xmlns:js="library://ns.apache.org/flexjs/basic" xmlns:ns1="*" >
    <js:valuesImpl>
        <js:SimpleCSSValuesImpl />
    </js:valuesImpl>
    <js:initialView>
    <ns1:InitialView/>
    </js:initialView>
</js:Application>

InitialView.mxml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<js:View xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009" xmlns:js="library://ns.apache.org/flexjs/basic"
         width="100%" height="100%" initComplete="init()">
         <fx:Script>
             <![CDATA[
                import org.apache.flex.collections.ArrayList;

                 [Bindable]private var categories:ArrayList;
                private function init():void{
                }

             ]]>
         </fx:Script>
         <js:beads>
            <js:ViewDataBinding/>
         </js:beads>
         <js:TextButton id="button" text="Press Me!"/>
        <js:DropDownList id="categoryDD" width="132" y="30"
            dataProvider="{categories}" selectedIndex="0"/>
        </js:View>
