How can I use a combo box as navigation, similar to

[scottgo]

I'm trying to use a combo box within the mx components to create a single navigation element. Similar to the use of the form element in HTML. I tried to play with a change handler, but I'm not having any luck.

How can I do this? What is the AS syntax?

Thank You for your help.

Hi,

Are you wanting to do something when an item is selected from the combo box or ..

Yes, I want to be able to select something from the combo box and when the item is selected I want an action to start. Something like gotoAndStop(3) or loadMovie ... or whatever is tied to the item in the combo box list.

Thank you for your quick response!

Say your combo box was called myCombo, it has two options, namely One and Two, and they have that value. If you make a function

function onComboChange() {
  selected = myCombo.getValue();
  switch(selected) {
    case "One":
      //do some code as One has been chosen
      break;
    case "Two":
      //do some code because Two has been chosen
      break;
  }
}

Then you just have to put onComboChange as your Change Handler
