ActionScript 2.0 :: Populate A Combobox From A .php File And Return The Values Of The Selection?
Aug 16, 2004
I trying to populate a combobox from a .php file and return the values of the selection. I have the .php set up to where it outputs something like
&artists=anartist,anartist2,anartist3, etc..they have names..I already have the combobox set up to where it displays
anartist
anartist2
anartist3
after you click the dropdown arrow..How would I get it to return a the numerical value for the artist (ex: anartist would be "0" since it is first in the list) and put it into a variable so that when it is selected it could be placed into an eval() function to create a variable such as "albumcover0" to be loaded through a function. I have been reading tutorials for hours to no avail.I want a single function to produce the number from the selected artist and place it into a variable, then go through all of the loadImage(for the "album image") etc functions..they will be functions that I have made already previously and call all of them with the number in the called fuctions (ex: loadImage(0)) where "0" is the number derived from the variable out of the combo box.Ive tried tons of tutorials, I think that it has something to do with me using flash mx 2004, and as2 turned on.

I have a combobox and list component on the stage. The combobox has 3 selections. How do I get it so that each selection triggers the specific xml file to load into the list component? I can't get them to communicate to each other.

If I have a ComboBox component on stage and it has 11 options in it, is it possible to populate a dynamic text field with text based on which one of the 11 options are selected?ComboBox has instance name of 'age' and has 11 options to choose from (Opt1, Opt2, Opt3, Opt4, Opt5, etc.).There are also 11 dynamic text fields (instance and variable names of c1, c2, c3, etc.). I want the text fields to be blank unless the corresponding option is chosen. So, if Opt1 is selected from ComboBox 'age' then populate 'c1' with the number 1, if 'Opt2' is selected populate 'c2' with 2 and so on, otherwise the text fields stay blank.

What I have atm is a combobox with types of products in it. How do I populate a new combobox using the product names from an external xml file? I've already loaded the xml file so I don't need that code. What I want is for the names of the products in the label and the child number in the data field (product.type.name[n] - I want n in the data field).

I've actaully got all of this working.All I need now is to make the comboBox text HTMLtext so that I can use the HTML tags to color the text different colors or bold them.It might be important to mention that I need to change only some of the things listed, not the entire list. So if my list on the comboBox is "item 1", "item 2", "item 3", "item 4", I only want "item 1" in bold and colored red.

I use this arrayCollection to populate a Flex 3 Datagrid. I'd also like to use this arrayCollection to populate a comboBox with the Name node.
In the arrayCollection, I've got the Name listed twice. I've got two rows in the Datagrid.
If I set the ComboBox's labelfield to Name, then the Name will be listed twice in the ComboBox menu. Is there a way to use this arrayCollection and have each Name listed only once in the comboBox?
I can always make another loop and array collection for the Name, but I was wondering if there were a better way.
var i:uint;
for (i=0; i<myArray.length; i++){

I am trying to populate a ComboBox from a ColdFusion component. The cfc is simply querying a db to get a list of products.
However, the code I am placing in the Actions panel:
function PartsList_Result(result) {
DataGlue.bindFormatStrings(test_cb, result, "#name#", "#partsID#");
}
doesn't appear to be working correctly. The only result I see is a blank box that when I hit the arrow, the first item in the query is returned. From what I have read, I thought that the code above would be all I need. So I'm not sure why:
1. The first item is not automatically selected
2. The rest of the list is not there.

I'm currently working on a project where I have a user defined list of urls which is saved in a local SO. When the movie is loaded the ComboBox is populated with the values from the SO (Stored as array inside SO).I want to give users the option to remove items from this list. So far I have managed to remove the selected item from the combo box, clear out the SO and loop the remaining ComboBox items, but, when I try and load these item into an array to parse back to the SO, the array is created and creates the correct amount of elements, but, each element is populated with only the data from the 0 index item of the ComboBox.My code so far: (This sits inside a button component and is invoked onClick)
_root.ComboBox.removeItemAt(_root.ComboBox.selecte dIndex);
_root.ComboBox.selectedIndex = 0;
_root.local_data.clear(); [code].......

I have a data grid with an Combobox itemRenderer in it. What I have is a grid with a person id and person name (more stuff in grid but I am struggling with this). In the person name column I have an combobox with all the people on then system's names and id's. What I want to do is when I select a person in the combobox I want the combobox to populate the person name fields (which it does) but I also want to pull out the person id from the combobox and populate the person id column in the data grid as well.

I've got an array that looks like this, iterating through:
(languageArray[i].languageName); //e.g. "French"
(languageArray[i].languageCode); //e.g. "fre"
I'm trying to populate a fl.controls.ComboBox dataProvider with this array. What I want to do is set the labelfield, as shown in the documentation:
[Code]...
In other words I want the name to be displayed, and the 'data' to be the code, which will be called when I click on the item. But the labelField is not the same as "French". How do I create the two fields in the array such that I can designate the first as labelField and the second as data?

I am developing a panel in Photoshop with Flex and Extendscript. I am pretty close to getting this to work, but with my Flex skills I am having a little issue with the Array I am pulling in from the jsx file. The array is displayed fine in the alert box, but somewhere between my split and creating new collection something is wrong.
Here is my Flex

Like the title says I can't seem to get my combobox to allow the first item to be selected after loading.If I select any other item in the list it works fine and I can immediately come back and select the first.Seems like strange behavior but as this is my first project using the combobox I'm hoping it's something I've overlooked or just didn't realize I needed.Here is the code I'm using
Code:
comboBox.getFocus();

I'm trying to make a simple drop down list where each selection has its own value. I have a combobox with the following parameters.
Editable = false
Labels = choice1, choice2
Data = 0,1
Row Count = 8
Change Handler = blank
I have an instance name of "type" on the component. Now I have a dynamic text field with a var of "price" and on the first frame of my movie I have this code
if (_root.type == 0) {
_root.price = 10;
}
if (_root.type == 1) {
_root.price = 20;
}
But its not showing these values in my text field when I select those choices.

I have a datagrid.In this datagrid I have a combobox item editor. This datagrid also has multiple columns where a user inputs numbers in each column. These numbers are then calculated by formula where the sum is posted in the "total" column. In this combobox there are two options for the user to choose from and each option has a different formula for calculating the inputted numbers. What I want is for when a user chooses "option 1" one formula is used to do the calculation, when "option 2" is chosen by the user then formula two is used to the calculation.Here's an example:
Combobox Option 1 (formula 1) is chosen by user = (Column2 - Column1) x column3 = "total" column
Combobox Option 2 (formula 2) is chosen by user = (Column1 - Column2) x column3 ="total" column
I realize you would use a conditional such as "if else" statement, but im just not sure how to do it. I've been trying to implement this for a while with no success.

My code snipet looks like :
[Code]...
Do you have idea about the reason for that error and how to prevent it? N.B. The code that triggers this error is as a result for click handler. If before encountering this error change the selection on my yearsCb, everithing is fine. EDIT: I forget to specify that this error is thrown when it is a selected item in my ComboBox. It seem that after container that holds the ComboBox loses the focus, it doesn't recognize it's ComboBox child as having a selected item anyway (this problem arise only after the modal popup close.).

I am building a website for an online store in Flash 8. I needed to use a dropdown menu for selecting the size of a clothing item, so I just used the default ComboBox component. I thought it was working fine, until I came across a strange bug (with the component, or my own code) where the ComboBox was not showing the current selected item.
The dropdown's list works, and shows all the options, but if you click on one, it doesn't get displayed as the current selection in its TextBox. The weird thing is that it still works fine, and I can access the data ok. If I use myComboBox.text I can access the current selections text, even though Nothing is being displayed.
Has anyone come across this before, and has any suggestions for what I am doing wrong.
A few details: Here is the actual code I am using to load the options into the ComboBox: Code: Select allvar my_cb:ComboBox = this.pages.product.size_comboBox;
my_cb.removeAll();
var sizesList:Object = productData[categoryID][productID]["sizes"];
for(var s in sizesList){
my_cb.addItem({data:s, label:sizesList[s]});
}
my_cb.redraw();
There are a number of other things happening the same time as its adding the items to the comboBox, e.g. loading images, creating movieClips, etc. Could loading this be causing the comboBox to not function properly.
