ok I am having an issue with a combo box being inside a MC.
when I click to have it show the list everything shows up fine. but when I select the item the combobox shows blank but the item is still showing as selected via actionscript checking it.
I am working on a comboBox in flex. I am showing 5 items as item1, item2, item3, item4item5. Now i want to show first 2 items in red color and the last 3 items in green color. How to do this ? i need a solution asap.

View 1 Replies 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 dynamic text field that I want information displayed in depending on what the user selects in the combo box.I know how to make the text field display the information if a button is pressed, but I do I do that same thing when a user makes a selection from the combo box.Here's what I have when a user clicks a button:
[AS]on (release) {
loadVarsText = new loadVars();
loadVarsText.load("blah blah blah");
[code].......
I have 1 form text field,dynamic called txt2, I have the combo box called cb_instance that i'm trying to get the value selected from the combobox to show in the text field.I can get the value from the event object using trace but can't seem to see how to get it to show in the text field called txt2.d.
var cbox:Object = new Object();
cbox.change = function (cb_evenObj:Object) {
txt2.text = cb_evenObj.target.selectedItem.label;[code].....
Suppose a text file contains the following data each separated by a line
Apple
Mango
Orange
Banana
Papaya

View 1 RepliesIs there any known issue with combo boxes that are dynamically created and styled, where they work and style fine when testing in the authoring environment, but just display what appears to be a blank background with no menu text when its an swf loaded into a main movie?

View 3 RepliesI have a text input field and I need a combo box for choosing the font size for the text by px maybe.
View 1 RepliesIm a bit of a novice with flash and have become stuck while trying to achieve what should be a simple task. I am trying to read in XML data and display the lables in a combo box and then display the corresponding data in a text field below. So that when for example "Vintage Red Wine" is selected in the combo box, the description for that wine will then be shown in the textfield below.Most of the code is functional. The combo box displays the information i want. The only thing that doesnt want to work is the text field which should show the wine decriptions.
Here is my XML data:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Wines>
[code].....
The string representing the function name will be read from xml @ run time.
var combo:ComboBox = new ComboBox();
combo.labelFunction = "functionName";
So the first name, which is to be displayed in the combo box, can be only retrieved by accessing another DTO, called person and then its first name.

View 2 RepliesI m trying to populate a text field (modelT) with the text corisponding to the "data" part of the selectedItem in the combo box. The "data" shows up correctly when i use:
modelT.text = event.target.selectedItem.data;
But i'm trying to call it with a "if" statement (in red) so later on i can dynamically populate the text field from multiple combo box's. am i missing something simple, here is my code:
import fl.controls.ComboBox;import fl.data.DataProvider;import fl.managers.StyleManager;
var cPurpose:Array = [code]..........

View 1 RepliesI have read several posting on this site and others. I can't seem to find the right solution to get my combo box to work. I am publishing for Flash player 10 and AS 2. The final file will be imported into a Articulate/PPT file.
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've two Combo Box(cbFirst & cbSecond). I want to compare the value that has been selected by the user and based on the result, output is displayed. In both Combo Box I've provided the value.Here is my code:

function First(evt:Event):void{ a = evt.target.value; trace(a); }cbFirst.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, First);

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.
Is there a way to add an empty value to a combo box. For instance, when a user clicks the combo box but then decides to not select anything?
View 5 RepliesWhat i need to do is, In Flash (FlashMX, CS3 or CS4) I need to place 2 combo boxes. by default the 1st one will be enabled and the 2nd will be disabled. First combo box will have country names and the 2nd will have state names. when a user selects the country name from the 1st combo box, the 2nd shuld then get enabled. and when a user selects the state from the 2nd combo box, there will be button next to it for clicking. on clicking the button, the values in each combo box shuld be selected and the user will be taken to a specific URL which will have the contents on current selected state in the current selected country.
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>
<mx:Component>[code]..........
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 use combo box to display a list of items. The box'x length is smaller whereas the items length is large. So if i mouse over it i need to display the whole item as a data tip
