Flash :: ComboBox Does Not Appear

ComboBox Problem, Displays A "text Box Like" Object Instead Of A ComboBox
Hello friends,

A friend of mine is having a tough time getting a ComboBox integrated into an existing flash movie, to work right.

Here's the story so far.....

The ComboBox when tried out in a sample new file works absolutely fine, but when the same thing (see code below) is added to
an existing movie (which has a preloader in Scene 1) does not work at all. Instead, it displays a "text-box-like" object in place of a
ComboBox...

Code:

form = new Object();
form.change = function (evt){
trace(evt.target.selectedItem.label);
}
comboBox.addEventListener("change", form);

Now, is there a possibility that because a preloader exists in the movie, the ComboBox does not work, not sure on this reasoning!

If someone could help out here, I'd really appreciate it!

Possible Bug With ComboBox
I'm having a problem with a ComboBox component.

I need to check periodically the value of the currently selectedItem on a ComboBox. So what I'm doing is on an enterFrame event of the movieclip that contains the ComboBox, trigering a function that reads that selectedItem. My problem is that when I run the swf movie, sometimes I am able to make a selection on the ComboBox (using the mouse, not programmaticaly) and sometimes not. So far I haven't been able to find a pattern of when this thing works and when it doesn't.

So I was wandering if any of you have found a similar problem, or have any idea what may be cousing it?

Hi people,
I'm working on a web-site using both Flash MX and HTML... it's been going really well until just now.. i've become stumped! I've used Flash 5 for about a year so i do know some of what i say... well heres the problem:
I've introduced a Combobox into a gallery i'm producing, the idea was to be able to navigate my way through the different sections of pictures with a point and click on the drop down menu... i need it then to load a new scene, how do you tell the combobox to load another part of the movie (gallery)??
I hope this all makes sense because as i read it back it's starting to seem a little stupid!
Any help would be super so please post a reply.. even if it's to tell me that i can't do this

Jon

P.s. unfortunatly i have a deadline of a week for this gallery so please.. any ideas??

Combobox Help...
Hello Everyone...

I am trying to work on dynamic loading combobox(s) from text files. I guess, this is my first question...is it possible to load combobox dynamically?

Next question/problem:

I want to have multiple comboboxes on one "page" but lets say that the first combobox is always the same, nothing will change with that. But with the option(s) in the first combobox, that will depict what will be in the second combobox, and then the second combobox will depict what is in the third combobox, and so forth and so on. And then in the end, I would like to be able to have a button to send off an email to myself when people fill out the "survey." Is it possible to send the email without having to have a email client setup on the computer that the "survey" is being viewed at. The email would contain the selected information in the comboboxes.

And one more thing. If it is possible to be able to attach a file to the "survey"
Thank you for the help,

Josh

ComboBox
I have a panel and in it I have a combobox which I am loading from a text file, and till now, everything is working fine. Even when the user changes the option, everything is working since I am loading the correct file to go with the selection. However, what I do not know, is, when the user closes the panel and opens it again, how can I get the last selection the user chose? For example if the User selected Option 3, and closes this panel, then opens it again, I want Option 3 to appear first and the other optons after it.

Is it possible?

THanks for your help and time

Hello All,

I am new to flash MX, and not too familiar with action scripting. I have a query that many of you will be able to type out on seconds, for this reason I ask you to do so so i can learn from your example.

Simply... :P

I want to create a ComboBox which has around 5 options and a data list of the same amount. When a user selects one of the options I would like it to jump to the next frame, or next scene in the movie.

How would the actionscript look for this? I have given it my best shot but keep getting errors. I have set up the combobox, if someone could show me how the onclipevents should be set out and the variable and functions etc I would really appreciate it.

Also if anyone knows any good tutorials on combobox's etc that would be a help.

Thanks a lot

Combobox
Flash 5.

I'm trying to set up a movie, in which a user can convert various bits of data.
The scene consists of 4 areas.
Area1 = an input box ("number") which is the value the user wishes to convert.
Area2 = type of conversion. This is a combobox ("type") which lists various types of coversion (for exapmple weight, height etc etc) The selection made in this section has a direct result of what is displyed in Area3.
Area3 = two comboboxes ("to" and "from") each listing various scales depending on the choice made in Area2. (for example if the user chooses weight in Area2, the to and from boxes list Kg, g, oz, lb, etc but if they choose length in Area2. the to and from boxes list m, cm, ft, in, etc) The "from" combobox is what the "number" is being converted from, and the "to" combobox is what the "number" is converted to.
Area4 = the result of the equation.

Question 1: How do I create comboboxes that can list choices (which I assume are provided from an array)?
Question 2: How do I link the combobox in Area2 to the items (arrays) listed in Area3?

Thanks for your time. I hope I have explained what I want to do clearly enough :-)

I want the user to be able to navigate through the fields using the tab key, but when I tab into one of the combo boxes, the cursor gets "stuck". I can shift-tab backwards out of the combo box, but if I hit tab the focus stays on the combo box..

Any ideas?

Combobox Help
Hi,
I have a combobox called indexBox with labels 0,A,B,C ... and data 0, goto5, goto10, goto15... The idea is that if the user selects A a clip will be played from frame 5 to 9, if B than 10 to 14 and so on. The code I tried is:

onChange = function () {
if (indexBox.getValue() == "goto5") {
gotoAndPlay(5);
}
else {
if (indexBox.getValue() == "goto10") {
gotoAndPlay(10);
}
}
}

The problem here is that only the first selection works and it gets stuck there. The other problem is that it's driving me nuts.
Any ideas will be appriciated.

Combobox With MX
Okay, so here goes. I have a combobox that has the following listed in it: None, Single, & Group. In my script I need to have it set so that if None is selected in the combobox, the value of 0.00 is the output, if Single the value in the output should be 26.75, and for Group 86.75. I have the instance of the combobox as HealthInsurance and the output box variable name is healthcare. I'm not that familiar with all the in's and out's of actionscripting but if someone can help me in anyway, please do.

ComboBox - Value
Hello Forum,
I'm working on an app with FlashMX 2004 v7.2 and Flash Studio PRo v2 and MS Access 2000.
Basicly app is intended to being DVD movies catalogue.
I'm almost done, only i need to sort movies by its first letter name Implicitly.
I'm trying to do that with ComboBox component (named pickLetter_cmb)and i have joined next code to the first frame:
code: var myDP:Array = new Array("A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z");
pickLetter_cmb.dataProvider = myDP;
/// listener for catching what was clicked on list
function change(evt){
//here is key for my solution ... that i miss
trace("You pick up: "+evt.target.selectedItem);
}
pickLetter_cmb.addEventListener("change", this);
I improvising for a while and instead trace i have:
on (release){
gotoAndPlay(6);
}
where i have this code:
code:
//just to clear my intention i typed letter "A"
fscommand("flashstudio.selectfromdb", ""SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE name LIKE 'a%' ORDER BY name ASC"");

So what is the point? ... i would like to catch SelectedItem and instead letter A i have picked letter ... B, C, D or any other.
Please help me ... Thanks in advance

UI ComboBox Bug
I have a combobox placed on the stage within my mainMC. I also have a series of MCs attached to the stage within a MC holder. Embedding look like this:
Stage -> MainMC -> ComboBox
Stage -> MainMC -> HolderMC -> AttachedMCs

Initially when this whole thing loads the attachedMC commands work flawlessly. As soon as I do anything with the ComboBox, such as jus open it or select an item, the code for the attachedMCs doesn't work right. Specifically, commands such as onPress does not trace. They only work if the mouse scrolls a little bit over the attached MC then press. Then scroll again and press. Wierdest damn thing. Could it be that the ComboBox is taking control of focus some how? And if so how do I force it to release focus? Or what else may be going on?

I've tried about a hundred different things. Tried setting the MCs trackAsMenuItem = true and that didn't work. I did that because I noticed that any button on the stage tracked as a button will not take focus away from the ComboBox, thus does not work correctly. I thought setting the MCs like that would cure the problem but no luck. I'm out of ideas. Hope someone can help. I'm in a major pinch. I really can't post the source files. The Flash app uses many, many external files including XML, AS and Class files.

ComboBox
Hello,
I hop somebody can help me...
I am using two Comboboxes, for a product comparison. What i want to do is, to select one product in one combobox and 2nd in the 2nd combobox.
I am not getting how to create 2 functions that if both are selected to move on to the next frame.
I got so far
for one combobox:

prod.setChangeHandler("loadPr");

function loadPr(component);{
var pr1 = component.getSelectedItem().data

mc.loadMovie("test.swf");
}

what i tried to do is to insert
var c = comonent.getSelectedIndex;
if (c > 0) {
gotoAndStop(2);
}

But it doesnt work....
Another thing when you got 2 Comboboxes (similiar) is there a possibility, if selecting 1 to delete the one in the 2nd box?
(so you wouldnt be able to select the same thing in both c.boxes)

I thought I had this figured out but I guess I don't. I have code for a combo box that works in one fla but won't work in any others.

Also, I have two different sytles of combo box components, the new look and the older look. The new look doesn't give me a place in the properties panel to set a Change Handler. How do I set this?

myComboBox.addItemAt(i,eval("myData.comboData" + (i+1)),eval("myData.comboID" + (i+1)));
}

}

technical= new Object();
technical.change = function (evt){
comp = evt.target.selectedItem.data;
if(comp <> "do nothing") {
getURL(comp,"_blank");
trace("FFF");
}
myComboBox.setSelectedIndex(0);
}

Any ideas why this wont work?

I am a total newbie when it comes to the Components. I am trying to do three things with the combobox.

1. I need to select several items from several comboboxes and have there cost added up and displayed.

2.I also want to have the combox selections load external swf's into the current movie. (You can see the image to the right. It will change as you make your related selctions.)

3.I then will want to send all of these selections to a database.

I need to know how to link the labels of the box to multyple screens. If someone could help me with the action script i would appriciate it very much.

Combobox

Please HELP With COMBOBOX
Hi all you !
Sorry for my bad english. I have a problem that I can't solve.

Here is what I have made:

1. I have dragged a COMBOBOX component in the stage (frame1)
Properties of the combobox:
---> Instance name: ddlProvincia
Parameters of the combobox:
---> Data: []
---> Editable: False
---> Labels: []
---> Row Count: 5

2. I have dragged a WebServiceConnector in the stage (frame1)
Properties of the WSC:
---> Instance Name: objWebServiceProvince
---> WSDLURL: http://stosaws.mktgstreet.com/Tabelle.asmx?WSDL
---> Operation: GetTableProvince

GetTableProvince() - Return an array like this:
result[0] -> Id
result[1] -> Id regione
result[2] -> Provincia (Complete Name of the City)
result[3] -> Provincia (Short Name of the City)

3.Attached to the COMBOBOX there is this script:

on(results){
_root.ddlProvincia.data = results[0];
_root.ddlProvincia.labels = results[2];
}

4. In the frame1 I have the following script:

stop();
import mx.services.*;
_root.objWebServiceProvince.trigger();

lo = new Object();
lo.change = function (evt) {
trace("Selected data is: " + evt.target.getValue());
trace(" Label = " + evt.target.selectedItem.label);
trace(" Data = " + evt.target.selectedItem.data);
}
ddlProvincia.addEventListener("change", lo);

THE PROBLEM:
I Need to access the Labels but also the Data of the combobox, but while evt.target.getValue() returns me something (the label) when I select something from the combobox (change), the two istructions evt.target.selectedItem.label and evt.target.selectedItem.data return me UNDEFINED !

WHY ??? Please Help Me !

If it can help I have uploaded the FLA

THANX A LOT !
