ActionScript 3.0 :: Combo Box Making A Hint For Each Item - Placing An Event Listener Into The Function That Populates The Combo Box?
Mar 10, 2011
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.

When the combo box is changed it will add items to another combo box, i.e if africa is chosen, all the countries in africa will be listed in the second combo box.
At the moment i am manually adding in all the countries, _root.combo1.addItem("Label", "Data");
for 60 countries that would be messy code, is there a way to do it in an array cause my advanced actionsript isnt that good. But i will need to be able to get the data of a country out later ....

I've set up a combo box that moves a large image to a specific size and position on screen when a combo box item is selected. It works fine but the image can also be moved manually by dragging and moved and scaled by pressing a 'fullscreen' button. The problem is that if I set the image to a particualr position by choosing 'Position 1' from the combo box then move and scale the image, when I choose 'Position 1' again nothing happens. This is clearly because I have set the combo box event handler to 'on (change)' and reselecting the same item doesn't count as a change to the combo box.
How can I set the combo box so that it runs a function even if the same item is selected - I can't see any obvious event handler that activates when any item is selected in the combo box - even on(close) doesn't work because the combo box seemingly still doesn't count this as a valid selection. I can post code if you need to see something - it is very simple, but I can't get this working.

Code: Select all_global.theCategory = new Array();

I have a screen which is essentially an address screen. Amongst other fields. there are two fields on the screen which are used to enter the region of the user. One is a combo box, the other is a plain text field.
After the user selects their country from a drop down list, if that country has a list of regions associated with it, a Combobox is populated and displayed, with the text field being hidden. If there are no regions associated with the country then the combobox is hidden and the text field is displayed:

I'm currently using the change event handler to detect any changes made to the combobox selection, however, I would like it to ignore when the arrow keys are pressed as I am using them elsewhere.

I have a combo box in my application. I also have a variable called "Status". I want the combo box to be enabled only when the value of the Status variable is 5 or 6. Otherwise, I should not be able to change the value in the combo box. It should have the previous value only.. I had written a click event to disable the combo box. But even though the combo box is disabled, I get the drop down list of the combo box, and If I select some othe value in the drop down,it changes..Only after that it gets disabled.

I want to know how i can add an event listener to every item of an array.I know I can do it like this
Code: Select allvar stuff:Array = [MC1, MC2, MC3, MC4]
for (var i:Number = 0; i < stuff.length(); i++)[code].........
But it occurred to me; after coding for loop after for loop, that there must be some way to use the forEach(), or every() method to accomplish the same thing.

I'd like to display tool tips, once the user holds his mouse on an item of an opened combobox.Ifyou open the drop down list of a combo box, you'll see a list ofelements/items. Each of them can be accessed e.g. viamyCombo.getItemAt(0) .To me it seems I only get an object with adata and label property. But I think there must be more to it, becausewhen you hold your mouse over a sub-element, it'll be highlighted. Thismeans that there is some event listener on that very single item. Sohow can I do this?[code]

I'm moving on to my next massive programming project and I'm trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. Right now it's looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What's the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it's kinda annoying.

I currently have a combo box in my movie. The selections are 1, 2, 3, and 4. I would like to generate another X combo boxes of the same structure based on that number. I.e. Someone choose 2 in ComboBoxA. So 2 of ComboxB's are generated below that.

I 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 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.

What 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.

I 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.
