combo box item selection

[johnglynn]

Hi,

I have a combo box. I want to have diffrent things happen depending on what is clicked. This is the direction I am going in buty no luck




function changeHandler(){
if(my_cb.getValue=="some particular selected item"){
gotoAndStop(1);
}else{
gotoAndPlay(2);
}
}

How do I denote which item has been selected in the combo box? .getValue is not working in the if statment.

Thanks

I tried an effect on a sample file
I have one text box instance "myTextBox", and a combo box, "myComboBox". The data values inside "1","2", "3" for the display values 'one', 'two', 'three'

--------actionscript code--------
function myFunction (){
myTextBox.text=myComboBox.getValue();
}
myComboBox.setChangeHandler("myFunction");

stop();
--------actionscript code--------

Thanks maven5! I am closer no doubt. I made a link to a mockup of what I am trying to do:

What do you think?

Thank you again...
