Drop down menu question

[ziffs]

Hi all,
I am very new to actionscripting and cgi stuff. I am in the process of making an online application for employment for my company and would like a "YES/NO" drop down box on the form. (ex. Are you a US Citizen? Yes/No) but i also need it to add the answer to the rest of the info being sent to my email. any help of suggestions i would really appreciate. thank you.

just use an UI component. the comboBox is the one you'd use. then just store the data to a variable.

var usCitizen:Boolean = myComboBox.selectedItem.data;
//when you create your combobox, make sure the data is undefined, true and false
//in order to store the data correctly you'll have to call it via a function.
//but that's easy enough.

im not 100% sure i understand you fully, i can seem to get it to work. i dont suppose you would do 1 of them for me? just pick one on the attached so i can see how you did it

Thank you ,

are you using flash mx2004 or flash 8?

[ziffs]

mx 2004

[RangrJay]

ok, my components are a bit different, I use flash 8. i haven't used mx 2004 in a long time and had to reinstall a trial version. but the components were responding correctly, there's probably a missing dll file. something else, is to just make one from scratch.

ok, i quickly made a dropdown for you so you can see how it was done...and a side note, for your variables, make sure they are all one word, with no symbols or special characters (except the dot and the underscore)

im sorry, i though i had mx 2004,

i guess its just Flash MX

when i did a help, about. it says Flash MX Version 6.0
