Combobox controlling timeline?

[xseancannonx]

here it is. it isn't the actual movie that i'm making, because i figured i'd try it by itself first, then integrate what i learned. thanks for the help again.

[mykrob]

got it!!

check out the line where you set the changeHandler..
you have it set to a function that doesnt exist!

[mykrob]

should read:

code:

---

_root.comboBox.setChangeHandler("cbUpdate");

---

to reflect the name you have given the function

[xseancannonx]

alright, everything is working perfectly. i really appreciate that, and if you'd like, i could post the link to the site i'm working on when i get it done for you to see. oh, and i was wondering if there was a way to load an html file into a scrollpane, too. if not, that's fine, but it would save me time if i could do that. thanks again.

not without 3rd party software. You may wanna put that as a separate post, i have never used the scrollpane component.

would love to see the link

Hey guys, thanks for the tutorial... I downloaded combobox.zip from this thread and changed the parts that you suggested but still couldn't get this to work. I don't really know what I'm doing wroing because I'm pretty new to this. I'm using Flash MX Professional 2004. Does that make a difference? I'm lost. I'll attach the file

Could be! I believe this was a MX only AS1.0 component, and if you're using an AS2.0 MX2004 component, I guess it wouldn't work as is...
And since I'm still on MX only, I for one, can't really help you out much further.

Didn't he asked for MX2004 PRO?

[grfxmonkey]

yes... i did. Man, why did i ever switch to professional?

[grfxmonkey]

oh, cool... you must have meant mx professional. this works. Thanks! You have made my day.

heres a good question!!!

ive been following this "tutorial" cause i needed to use it too.

I want to have the first item ( the one that will be shown first) to be " select a Country" but then after that they are sorted acsending, ie

Select a country
America
United kingdom
Zimbabwe

but then also a user should not really be able to choose the value of Select a country.

Am i making it a bit lond winded, should i just have the first item as america and not bother!!

[prt20]

And surely it is easer to do this instead of making a changehandeler function

On the combobutton add the actionsript :

on(change)
{
_root.gotoAndPlay(_root.combobox.getSelectedItem() .data);
}
