I tried adding the combo box component to my mp3 player but ran into a little problem. When i choose an option from my combo list it just counts +1 in my song array. I figured the problem was in my playSong function but I tried changing some of that code around.
songs.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<songs>[code].....
It might be something simple I'm doing wrong.I have an array populated by XML in a function by doing the following inside the function:
first_special.addItem({label: xmlMenuFile.item.headers[i],data:
xmlMenuFile.item.descriptions[i],data2: xmlMenuFile.item.hints[i]});
The problem I'm having is trying to figure out a way so that the "data2" will fill the text field "hint_txt" on ROLL_OVER of that items name in the list.I've tried to placing an event listener into the function that populates the combo box .this populates the combo box label and data with the Loaded XML File. This works
function changeHandler(ev:Event):void
{
menuText_mc.heading1_txt.text = ev.currentTarget.selectedItem.label;[code]......
I have two combo boxes. The first combo box's data is added through an XMLConnector object, the second combo box, I would like to populate through an on (change) event in the first combo box. The items in the second combo box would relate to the selection made in the first combo box.
I have attempted the following within the Actions for the first combo box:
on(change) {
switch(this.value) {
case "value1":
comboBox2.addItem({Label:"Label",Data:"Data"});
break;
} // end switch
} // end event
which is not working.
should an event be dispatched by comboBox1 and a listener be attached to comboBox2? I can't find any examples of this on the internet.. but i might be using the wrong search terms.
I have a combo box in swf B which I load in swf A.1: If I test swf B the combo box fills ok and expands ok. If I test swf A which loads swf B the combo box appears with data in it. But it does not expand.

I am simulating a form that my audience needs to fill out. For 2 text fields, I am using a combo box to allow them to select the proper input. If they leave the form screen, I need to save their answers so they do not have to start from the beginning. I am using global variables.
My problem occurs, when I try to populate the combo box using the audience's previously selected response. I have tried using setSelectedIndex. It works to the extent that the choice indicated highlights in the combo box, but the actual selection is not appearing in the text area. Do I need to set Combobox.text = selection?

I am working on a project with Flash 8 AS2. I am trying to connect a ComboBox and some radio Buttons to a SQL DB.
I have managed to connect some text fields with loadVariables and send them to php (to be read with $_POST) and then send them to Flash with echo "&variable".$variable;. SO I am using only php to make the connection, no XML or other things.
The problem is that I don't know how to make some radio buttons and ComboBox to communicate with the sql DB.

View 2 RepliesI want to add a ComboBox to a DataGrid. So far, the only way I've found to do it is like this:
<mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Header" dataField="src" >
<mx:itemRenderer>

The problem is the initial value of the ComboBox isn't set correctly. If I hard code the choices, then the initial value is set correctly. I can't hard code the choices.

I have a combo box under a mask and I've done some research and discovered that I need to embed the fonts in to it in order for the text to show. I don't want to embed my own fonts, I just want to use the basic default font and get this working, yet I can't seem to find any tutorials that tell you how to do this, they all seem to be about setting the font colour, size and type.
View 12 RepliesIs it possible to control the content of the combo box ( in this case it is the months) through any kind of external files like xml. May be it is a xml file .

I have been making a game and have recently found out about the Combo Box component, I love it and it works really well, except for one thing.You play the game using the arrow keys, and when you press the arrow keys the character moves, AND it changes the value in the Combo Box, I do not want it to affect the combo box.Please do not say use the WASD keys or another set of keys as this will not affect it, because this is not an option, they are already being used!
