I would like a combo box to show me a list of the items and then upload the image in flash. I placed a combo box on the stage and called it combo. I somehow need it to list "seaside1.jpg", "seaside2.jpg" . . . . and so on. Then upload that image. Here is all that I have so far. Whats next?

combo.addItem("-- select image --");
loadVariablesNum("image/jpeegs.php", 0, "POST");

Populate Combo With Years From 1900 To 2007
I need to populate a combobox with the years from 1900 to 2006 and when the year(s) change it goes to 2007-2008-2009, and it also brings in a label for that year.

So that it will be a scrolling dropdown menu with 107 labels in it. The first item must have a label "I don't know". Because user will be asked to select what year house was built and they might not know so need to be able to select 'I don't know' which needs to be at the top of the list where they see it.

So need the combobox like this;

I don't know
1900
1901
1902
1903
1904
etc
etc
2006

hi

I've created a combo box with about 31 labels in it. i am currently stuck on the code. I want to be able to Click a label in the combo box and this should load a list into a text box.

is it possible to load an external txt file into the text box once a label in the combo box is clicked?

e.g

combo box - Value1
Value2
Value3

//user clicks "value2" which prompts txt file to load

text2.txt containing a list loads into textbox

or

//if user clicks "value3"

text3.txt containing a list loads into textbox

ne ideas....

Passing Combo Box Values To Php
I'm a PHP coder working with a Flash coder to set up a mailing form. Everything is working with the exception of the combo boxes which are not passing their values to PHP. Can anyone tell me how/where to set a variable value on a combo box like I do with text boxes?

Thanks,

Combo Box Values Not Being Displayed In New MC
okay so i have a combo box which has 4 values and/or selection. The combo box movie works fine, but when the movie is loaded into my main timeline, the first selection (set in AS) shows up, but none of the others.

Can anyone explain. here is the code that sets the combo box and the code that loads the movie

ActionScript Code:
// assigns valuefunction initCombo(){ drop.addItem("Funky 80'ss Music", 0); drop.addItem("Your Body is a wonderland", 1); drop.addItem("FireStarter", 2); drop.addItem("Stop the Music", "Stop"); trace("stop it stop it"); drop.setChangeHandler("comboHandler"); clearInterval(doable);}// loads moviefunction getMP3Playa() { createEmptyMovieClip("playaContent", 49); loadMovie("smallMC_music.swf", "playaContent"); playaContent._x = 98; playaContent._y = 750;}

Combo Box Component--loading In The Values?
I have several Combo Boxes to make for a search engine and a registration form, and each has a lot, in 2 cases 96, possibilities, and the possibilities are going to be constantly changing.

Can I load the values in to an MX Combo Box Component from say a text file or some other back-end service?

Worst case scenario, I've already entered the initial values into my Access database, so is there a way I can copy and paste that info somehow into the Combo Box? Can't seem to for trying...

They're all single values, like building addresses, and type of business, i.e., single, simple fields...just lotsa 'dem

A very simple tutorial on this might help me out a lot...

Thanks as always.

Assigning Array Values To A Combo Box
hi guys wondered f anyone could help me with this, I have an array which I want the values within to appear in a combo box called compare 1. Not sure how to do this the code is below the last line shows how i tried to do it but to no joy. Much apprechiated if any1 could help

function parseXML(createXML) {
parseArray = new Array();
for (i = 0; i < createXML.childNodes.length; i++)
{

//creates a object with the same name as the node in the xml
this[createXML.childNodes[i].nodeName] = new Object();
//next three lines pass values in XML node attributes to variables in the object
this[createXML.childNodes[i].nodeName].name = createXML.childNodes[i].nodeName;
this[createXML.childNodes[i].nodeName].isa = createXML.childNodes[i].attributes.isa;
//this next line is interesting in that it uses split, which it self creates an array, so it seem you end up passing an array to a variable in the object. However, you then pass the object later to an array.
this[createXML.childNodes[i].nodeName].has = createXML.childNodes[i].attributes.has.split(",");
//appends the newly created object to the array you created earlier, so you end up with an array of objects
parseArray.push(this[createXML.childNodes[i].nodeName]);
} // end of for
//this would set the root level variable creaturesArray to the array of object created in the previous function
_global.entityArray = parseArray;
} // End of the function

//takes the value of creature name
function getParents(entityName)
{
//set variable to a blank value
currentISA = "";
//creates new array
parentArray = new Array();
//adds value of creature name to array.
parentArray.push(entityName);
for (entityIndex = getIndex(entityName); currentISA != null; entityIndex = getIndex(currentISA))
{
//takes value from object and pusshes it to the new array
currentISA = _global.entityArray[entityIndex].isa;
parentArray.push(currentISA);
} // end of for
//removes the last element from the array and returns the value
parentArray.pop();
//returns the array
return (parentArray);
compare1.dataprovider = parentArray:
} // End of the function

sorry about the indentation

Thanks

Make Sure Combo Box Values Are Unique
I have four combo boxes on a form, each with values from 1 to 4. How do I make sure, when the form is submitted, that the user has selected a unique value for each combo box (i.e. none of the values match)?

Thanks.

Maintaining Values In Combo Boxes
Is there a way to maintain the selected value in the combo box over multiple frames? e.g. a user selected a option then moved to next frame but then wanted to move back to check their selection?

Problem Loading External Swf's Via Combo Box Values
I'm trying to load some external swf's based upon a combo box selection and it's not working.

Here is what I have setup so far:

2 layers. 1 frame.

1st layer is for my main script:
function loadMovieClip () {
if (_root.color_combo.getValue() == Purple) {
_root.blank.loadMovie("earrings/earring_00001.swf", 1);
} else if (_root.color_combo.getValue() == Green) {
_root.blank.loadMovie("earrings/earring_00002.swf", 1);
}
}

2nd layer has two things:
1. blank movieclip with the instance name of "blank"
2. combo box with the following values: (Blue,Yellow,Green,Red,Purple) and instance name of "color_combo". Also the combo box has the following script:

on (release) {
_root.color_combo.setChangeHandler("loadMovieClip" );
}

This project is one directory up from the directory where the files I am trying to load are located. (../ProjectDirectory/earrings/..) So I think I have that setup right.

When I test the movie there are no errors but selecting either "Green" or "Purple" has no effect. Nothing happens. I am wondering why.....

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Cant Pass Combo Box Values In Flash Remoting?
Hi guys,

I am using flash with cfmx........

I am populating four combo boxes in Flash from Cold Fusion queries.....

Now I need to use the first value from each of those combo boxes to populate another text field.

the problem is that when I try passing the values from the combo boxes it does not work.....eg:

If I call the function like this and just pass actual values it works fine:

getService.Calculate({var1:1,var2:1,var3:1,var4:1});

However, if I pass the combo box values, it never works.....(The combo boxes all populate correctly, and i can output their values elsewhere in the flash app....I just cant seem to pass them)

getService.Calculate({var1:var1_cb.getSelectedItem().data,var2:var2_cb.getSele ctedItem().data,var3:var3_cb.getSelectedItem().data});

any help is greatly appreciated.

Pull Down Menu To Populate Values
I'm stumped, i need to create a dropdown or pulldown box that populates values in a dynamic/input text field.. make sense?? for example...

Dropdown box has the Labels/values of "Fruit", "Salad", "Sweets"

Ok, if the user selects "fruit" then a dynamic text box underneith says "apple" and another box may say "bannana".

If the user selects "salad" then a dynamic text box underneith may say "lettuce" and the other may say "cucumber"

Does that make sense... I know this is possible in Excel - but i dont know where to start with Flash

Thanks so much n advance!!

Grab Values Out Of Swf & Populate Into Textfield On Php
My project is a create your own application... Basically you have a bunch of choices to select from, like a hamburger, hot dog, etc... and then you can customize your toppings and stuff like that. That works fine, but I need to get those values into a separate php page that has a form for registration so we can store those values in our database. Doing the form in Flash is not an option.

How do I grab the values coming out of my swf and place them into the textfields on the php page?

How Do I Populate Scrolling Text Field With Multidimension Array Values?
In my Flash quiz, I have a detailed results page to which I want to post all the questions, answers, and whether the user answered correctly or incorrectly. All this information is stored in a multidimensional array and its successfully showing the results via the trace method.

My question is, what is the syntax for populating a dynamic text field with these results? Do I just write out one long line of AS with the newline command to separate the data? How would I go about applying bold to certain parts of the stored data that I will be showing?

Here is current code for my detailed results page:

function showResults(){
trace("Now showing results");
for(var i:Number = 0; i < NumberOfChallenges; i++){ //This calls the length of the original array (not the spliced copy)
//trace(NumberOfChallenges);
//Make sure that the correct answers are marked in the aShuffledChallenges array
trace("POPULATING TEXT FIELD WITH A RESULT NOW.");
trace("QUESTION:" + aShuffledChallenges[i][0] + newline); //write out the question
trace("ANSWER:" + aShuffledChallenges[i][3] + newline); //write out the answer
trace("Your answer to this question was:" + aShuffledChallenges[i][2] + newline);
}
}

showResults();

Combo Box...Please Help
Hello...

I have a combo box(vtgCombo) with values that, when selected, should jump to a certain scene. I have the following code written on the first frame of the timeline which the component lies on:

indexData = new Array();
indexData[0] = {label:"Select...", data:""};
indexData[1] = {label:"The Resort", data:"Resort"};
indexData[2] = {label:"Guest Rooms", data:"Intro"};
indexData[3] = {label:"Leisure", data:"Leisure"};
indexData[4] = {label:"Restaurants", data:"Restaurants"};
indexData[5] = {label:"Meetings", data:"Meetings"};
indexData[6] = {label:"Gallery Index", data:"Index"};

// Combo box attributes
vtgCombo.setDataProvider(indexData);
vtgCombo.setChangeHandler("sceneSelector");

// Playing the scene selected
function sceneSelector(){
gotoAndPlay(vtgCombo.getSelectedItem().data);

Would this conflict in any way what parameters are set on the box? I just can't get this to work. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Combo Box
Hey there all you flashmasters outthere,

I got a problem with a combo box. It's located in an external *.swf which is being loaded into a dynamically created holder MC [loader.loadMovie("MC_containing_Combo_box.swf")]

It's working pretty fine. There's a big problem though, since the combo box loses the labels. You can still click it (i.e. the entries) and it's still working but you cant read the labels anymore !?!?!

Has anybody had this problem too? Does anybody know how to "cure" this ?!!?

Any help will be appreciated

Combo Box Help
Dear all,

Could someone please explain to me in simple terms what code i put in the main timeline to make the main movie jump to a different frame when someone selects a choice in the combo box components list.

I have set up the combo box with all the choices but i dont know how to set up the change handler.

I want it so that when someone clicks on the first choice, the movie jumps to frame 12. when they select the second choice it jumps to frame 20, and when they select the default choice nothing happens.

Thank you very much.

Combo Box Help
Can someone please help me with this pain in the arse mx component problem.

I have placed a combo box component on the stage and filled in the labels.

There are 3 labels, the first says please select a language, the second choice says german language, and the third choice says english language.

Everything is ok so far, but what i need is the actionscript that i put in the main timeline to - do nothing if the user clicks on SELECT A LANGUAGE, send the main timeline to frame 10 if the person clicks on GERMAN LANGUAGE, or sends them to frame 20 if they click on ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

I have looked everywhere for the bloody answer and all i keep finding is useless examples using the trace command.

PLEASE PLEASE try to help me.

Thank you very much.

Best Way To Use Combo Box
Hello,

NEVER used a Combo Box before but considering using one for choosing to display one member out of a list of members as part of a truck owners site.

I have not formatted the individual member sections because what I can or cannot do with the combo box will determine how I design the sections.

My question is can you use a Combo Box to go to specific frames in the timeline, and or load movie clips and swf files.

Depending on what the responses are, I may have some more questions but this is a good place to start.

Thanks!

Help I Almost Got It (combo Box)
I am new at flash but have been a developer for about 10 years now. I have went through all of the tutorials and everything else. I have been working on getting information from an external file into a flash movie that will update a dynamic drop down box. I will try my best to explain what I have going on below.

test.txt file
contents: intCount=8&txtVar1=10&txtVar2=20&txtVar3=30&txtVar 4=40&txtVar5=50&txtVar6=60&txtVar7=70&txtVar8=80&d one=okay&

If flash I have LoadVariables layer which has a movie clip on it.
The movie clip is setup like this:
frame 1:
_parent.stop();
done = "";
loadVariables("test.txt", this, "POST");

frame 2:
if (done == "okay") {
// all variables are loaded
gotoAndStop(4);
}

frame 3:
// loop back to text if all variables are loaded yet
gotoAndPlay(2);

frame 4:
trace("==================================");
_root.section = section;
intCounter = Number(intCount);
intCounter = intCounter+1;
trace(intCounter);
for (i=1; i<intCounter; i++) {
array[i] = this["txtVar"+i];
trace(array[i]);
}
_root.Combo1Array = array;
trace("==================================");

Now on the main movie I have another layer called LoadCombo and my script here is:
trace(_root.Combo1Array[1]);

and that is it.

When I test the movie the tracing on the movie clip shows my data from the external file and I can access it in the move clip. What i read was that "_root" would put it into the main movie that is the reason why I am saying in the last frame "_root.Combo1Array = array". However the "trace(_root.Combo1Array[1])" return undefined and I am at a lot at what to do now.

I was thinking I would be able to just do a databind on Combo1 and add the Combo1Array and the drop down would be filled in.

I forgot to mention that on the layer Load Combo I have a drop down box called Combo1.

Please help!!!!!!

thanks

By default, a combo box's selected element in the unfolding list is highlighted by a deep grey. i've just modified the attributs of a combo box so that the default grey is lighter and more related to the colors of my site. The problem is that not only does the default settings highlight the selected choice in a deep grey, it also puts the text in white ( thus making it unreadable on a lighter grey as i've selected.

Where can i tell the combo box to not put the text in white when "over" element. I've tried editing the combo but the text inside the combo is a dynamic text set to black which exposes the variable in black. but probably theirs a script somewhere telling "on over choice highlight in grey and change text color to white"

thanks in advance

Combo Box
Please tell me is there a way to force Combo Box to display list of options above it, instead of below it how its usually shown.

Thanks.

Combo Box
I have a form that my customers can edit and update. The form contains a combo box with about 5 options. The form posts to an asp.net page. I have everything working as far as updating the database from the form and repopulating the input boxes with their previous settings. The problem is how to repopulate the combo box with the choice they had previously made. Getting the variable value into the form is no problem I just need a small sample of code that tells the combo box to show their previous value not the default value. Thanks in advance.
