Release Notes:

Details: There was an issue where basecombobox expected
    that a particular argument would always be a
    datapointer, but there were many cases in which
    it wasn't.  So I altered it so that it would only
    call setPointer() if the argument passed was an
    instance of a datapointer, to prevent it from
    trying (and failing) when it was a string.

Tests: Run the Amazon demo in SWF9 (and the other
    runtimes).  Edit one of the credit cards in
    payment options.  You shouldn't get any kind
    of AS error that crashes the app.
    
    If you want, you could run the testcase from
    LPP-7147 in SWF9.  There should now be no errors.
    
    Also, run the combobox tests and examples -- they
    should all still function the same.
