sizing chart

[callum bulmer]

i have been asked to create a system in flash to define the size of a garment for a customer.
I am new to indepth actionscript, although i have used flash to create many menus, widgets and less code based items. so have a basic understanding of actionscript.

would anyone have a pointer as to ho best to have a "size part a", plus "size part b", plus "size part c" = "garment x" type system?

where garment could be anything from a-z and the size parameters define the ultimate garment size.

does that make any sence?!

Id use the dataGrid component. Its filled by arrays, sorts, scrolls, and is fully scalable.

i was looking at using comboboxes, but i cant seem to get the actionscript to make it output a value work, like i said i'm not too hot at the ols AS as yet and may have bitten off a big old chunk to chew on here!
have you seen any good tutorials on this you could point me at???

currently i am having trouble making the combobox do anything bar state that it has registered the change by the mouse...using a trace

I have the code below on the combobox, but can't seem to make it jump frames, or indeed do anything!

I must have a gaping hole in my A/script somewhere... can anyone point me in the right direction. I am going in circles because i have missed a basic principle somehow/where!?

define listener, add listener, define and initiate function, go... but somwhere its not going despite many attemps. this is what i am playing with at the moment.....

i want the combobox's 'data number' to initiate a gotoandPlay action depending on its value, if it's 1-3 i want it to gotoandPlay frame"x", but if its 4-6... i want it to gotoandPlay frame "y" where x and y are points on a main timeline outside the combox's movieclip "getheight_mc"


_________________________________________
on(change){
height_listener = new Object ();
height_listener.change = getheight(num)
num = (getheight.data)
size_mnu.addEventListener("change", height_listener);
//trace(this);

form.change = _parent.getheight(eventObj)
trace("initiated function");

function getheight(num){
if(data>3){
//return;
gotoAndPlay(_root.weight_mc);
}
}
getheight(num);
}

onClipEvent (load) {
HeightArray = new Array("Choose Your Height", "5'2", "5'3", "5'4", "5'5", "5'6");

function onMenu(label, data) {
framesArray = new Array("0", "10", "20", "30", "40", "50");
val = HeightArray[data];
_root.clip_mc.gotoAndStop("val");
}
