You can provide an id to the DropDownList.

<s:DropDownList id="dropDownlistID" x="286.3" y="10.35" dataProvider="{langs}" 
                labelField="lab" prompt="select"></s:DropDownList>

and get the selected item as 

dropDownlistID.selectedItem

I'm not sure, but if you follow the API then there must be a property called selectedIndex. So you can get the item from the dataprovider, ArrayCollection lang as lang.getItemAt(dropDownlistID.selectedIndex);
