I've created a number of MC's dynamically. Inside each MC, there are 4 comboBoxes. I'm trying to access the selectedItem.label from code.When I However, when trying to access from code on the timeline, I can't get the value e.g.trace("=======================" + my_FC_row.getChildAt(4)); // Value is ComboBoxIf I trytrace("=======================" + my_FC_row.getChildAt(4).selectedItem.label);

I've got a combobox, cb, for which I need to programmatically set the selection. The combobox was populated by:
cd.addItem({data:"string1",label:"string1"});
cd.addItem({data:"string2",label:"string2"});
cd.addItem({data:"string3",label:"string3"});
Lets say I need to set the combobox to "string2",I've tried all of the following, none work:
cb.selectedItem("string2");
cb.selectedItem(data:"string2");
cb.selectedItem(label:"string2");
cb.selectedItem({data:"string2",label:"string2"});
The docs say selectedItem() is read/write but all the examples I can find are read only.
Ok I can't find any doco on this and it's driving me crazy. Anyone know how you specify the default value for the V2 ComboBox component based on the selectedItem when you don't know the selectedIndex? Here's my scenario:
I have a hardcoded combobox called "dd_names" with 50 names in it. I'm returning a dataset into Flash via a SQL query, and onload I need the dd_names dropdown to default to the value of the name returned in the dataset. So if the query returns "Tom" I need the dropdown to default to "Tom."
I tried setting dd_names.selectedItem = "Tom" and dd_names.value = "Tom" and these don't work. The ComboBox just defaults to the first item in the list.However, if I use the selectedIndex property and set dd_names.selectedIndex = 3, the ComboxBox doesn't default to the first item in the list but shows the appropriate item. This doesn't help because I don't know the selectedIndex being returned from the query - I only know the selectedItem. Anyone know how to do this??
i have online game and i have to know how to do this easy thing i have inventory and under things like first aid is number of objects and its combobox and after change i want to change variable kolko[i] to equals combobox name : "co"+i and that selecteditem data , i have this
[Code]...
well, I have a combobox which I have bind his selectedItem property to a value object object, like this
<fx:Binding source="styles_cb.selectedItem.toString()" destination="_uniform.style"/>
<fx:Declarations>
<fx:XML id="config_xml" xmlns="" source="config.xml" />
<!-- Place non-visual elements (e.g., services, value objects) here -->
</fx:Declarations>
<mx:ComboBox x="66.15" y="63.85" editable="false" id="styles_cb" dataProvider="{config_xml.styles.style}" />
the value object is a custom class with some setters and getters, and I want to set a property based of the value of the selectedItem of the combo, so inside the value object I have something like this
[Bindable]
public function set style(value:String):void
{
_style = value;
trace(value);
}
my problem is that each time I change the combobox selection which in fact change the style property of the value object it does it 3 times, if I trace the value of the setter it actually do the trace 3 times, why?? how can I avoid this? I'm doing something wrong? or there is a better way to do it,

View 1 RepliesI am trying to put a combobox inside a datagrid. I managed to get it this far:
[URL]
Shown in that image is my combobox, populated with data. The problem is that if I set the selectedIndex of the combobox to whatever value is in the corresponding cell, the user can no longer change the value of the combobox. What I mean is, you click on the combobox, a list appears to select from, but you can not select any item in that list.
Here's my code:
Code:
package
{
import fl.controls.listClasses.ICellRenderer;

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.

but how can i access the parent DataGrid or anything outside of this class ?In Java it can be done, but how can i pass any value to this class.

In my game currently I have a series of UILoaders which can be set to load a specific swf file inside the larger one.

How make the connection from the UILoader class to its contents as a movieClip?

addChild(bgLoader);
My question is this: how can I read a variable inside the embedded swf (probably through the bgURL, but I can't figure out how)

View 2 RepliesI'm currently learning OOP through Sen's information here at Kirupa, and I've decided to try out his "creatures" exercise mentioned in his Best of Senocular thread...The situation is a random number of sprites are created, and they move around the stage, interacting. They all have a certain amount of "health," defined as a variable in a MovieClip prototype applied to the MC. When they hit, I want their health to go down a little bit, so how can I access a particular MC's "health" variable while I'm outside of the MC itself?
View 1 RepliesI am trying to use a new script that uses XML to dynamically create a menu on the stage. Within the XML, I am establishing a function to use with that button. One button may just link to something on the web while another will simple display/hide a specific movieclip on the stage. I also have another button that I need to use to show any hotspots on the stage. Originally, I had the code on the instance of a static button on the stage and used a loop to get the items on the stage. Now, though, I have this "generic" Object() with a function called showHot. I have been playing around with using _parent, but can't figure out how to get to the items on the stage. All my hotspot movieclips' names start with "hs", so if I can just figure out how to loop through the items on the stage, I can check the names of those items.

I want to create a menu which is a mc on the mainStage, not inside anything. The menu itself has element inside it, so something like this mainStage»navMenu»navMenuClose. I want the action script on the mainStage, but it does not recognize the button navMenuClose. I want the actionscript on the mainStage because I also want the menu to hide after each function, just for navigation. (The close is incase you changed your mind) If I have the script inside the navMenu it does not recognize the menu, so I cannot hide it from there.
