ActionScript 3.0 :: Populate Combobox From External XML?
Nov 30, 2007
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).
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.
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'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.

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:
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)
Im trying to use the selected item in a combo box (aCB) to populate a text field (taLabel) the trace statement shows the correct item but i'm missing something simple to make it work. This is the error I get: ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property null not found on fl.controls.ComboBox and there is no default value.
var cPriorities:Array = new Array( {label:"Image Conscious",data:"Image Conscious"}, {label:"Durable", data:"Durable"}, {label:"Dependable", data:"Dependable"},); [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'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
protected function loadData():void { var grabFolderNames:SyncRequestResult = CSXSInterface.instance.evalScript("labNames"); var list:String = grabFolderNames.data;
URL...In this demo I have a Datagrid populated from a php script.I also have a ComboBox embeded in the datagrid. In this example I am reading the ComboBox data from an array within a ComboBox CellRenderer.The question I am posing is how to dynamically populate the embedded ComboBox's from a php script with data retrieved from a mySQL table.

I'm trying to setup a DataGrid that contains a column of combo boxes. The values of the combo boxes are defined by data specific to that row. I cannot get this to work though, I'm asking for a solution to this, either fixing what I have below or a recommendation on a different way.One of the columns of my DataGrid has an object derived from a ComboBox for an ItemEditor. The itemEditor is set like this:
I have a TextField on stage in a as2 version of Flash. Using the properties panel I'm trying to populate with text from an external file.
The text is in a file called about.txt located in the same folde as the swf.This is the contents of that text file:

I have main-swf that loads external swf. I made a combobox where user can choose another external swf and main-swf loads that after user have made selection. Everything works fine as long as code combobox labels and datas directly to the actionscript. When I tried to populate combobox with extrernal XML-file, it didnt work.[code]So, what I would like to do is get rid of that "varlehtivalikko: Array = new Array" where combobox data and label info has been stored and load that info externaly from my XML..
The movie works fine when there is 2 frames and there is a button with "play" command, on the first frame, what leads to the second frame. What I need is the code from second frame, working on first frame. When I do that, it loads nothing to the combobox? Sample: [URL]
First frame actions: [AS]loadVariablesNum("replaycars.php", 0); stop(); [/AS]
Second frame actions: [AS] stop(); arv = 0; function uuenda() { [Code] ....
I have a combobox component, when I selecet one lable its loads an external swf file, the movie loads fine after loading movie combobox menu went behind the loaded movie.[code]
I'm looking for a way to use an XML driven Combobox to load external .JPG's and .swf files into my Flash file. I'm a Graphic Designer (way more of a designer than a coder, so I'm no pro when it comes to Action Script) used to AS2.
I'm trying to implement this for an instance of ComboBox specifically, which uses a List to display the dropdown menu full of items. Lists can have icons associated with them, as described in the documentation:
var comboBox = addChild(new ComboBox()); comboBox.dataProvider = new DataProvider([{label:'item1',iconClass:IconClass1},{label:'item2',iconClass:IconClass2}]); comboBox.dropdown.iconField = 'iconClass';
... assuming IconClass1 and IconClass2 are valid classnames of symbols in our library, this code works perfectly.
Here's my question - the contents of this ComboBox will be XML-driven, populated dynamically, and I'd really rather include that icon reference as a filename instead of a classname, so that when the whole thing is implemented, the icon can be changed in the XML without opening Flash and adding a new symbol to the library. Clients aren't generally good at that sort of thing.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to find a way to reference the container for the instance of that icon class - the ComboBox.dropdown is obviously keeping a reference to each list item somewhere, and if I can find it, I can load the icon images dynamically, then addChild them to the icon instance.
I'm using Flash CS3 and want to create a custom ComboBox. I've followed the steps outlined in "Editing component skins in a new document" (http:/[url]...), but every time I get to the step where I drag the ComboBox Assets folder from the HaloTheme.fla library into my library, if I test movie at that point my combobox has become an unclickable white rectangle with no label, button or anything.
I'm trying to set a specific list item in a mx combobox to have a custom item renderer, the problem is that I cannot do this via mxml, it needs to be done via actionscript at a later stage, eg: combobox gets created, combobox gets populated, user does other tasks, combobox needs to set one or more items in the combobox to have icons (via item renderer)..
I can do this via the onChange event, but it only applies the icon when the combobox is opened and there is a slight delay so you can see the icon being added.
