[RESOLVED] Combobox duplicates entries

I am having an issue with a combobox.

Everything seems to work fine until I click on the "home" link. Then the box duplicates the items in the list.

I tried to write a function that would add the items on the initial load thinking the addItem code was running again when it enters frame1. Maybe I am still doing it wrong.

Here is the code:

Code:

---

stop();

import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

var listBuilt:Boolean = false;

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, buildList);

function buildList (evt:Event): void {
        if (listBuilt == false) {
                // Add Item to List.
                my_cb.addItem({data:1, label:"Home"});
                my_cb.addItem({data:2, label:"First Link"});
                my_cb.addItem({data:3, label:"Second Link"});
                listBuilt = true;
        } else {
                //do nothing
        }
}

// Add Listener.
my_cb.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, getData);

function getData(evt:Event): void {
        gotoAndPlay(evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.data);
}

Change this line var listBuilt:Boolean = false;
to var listBuilt:Boolean;

It is better to remove the eventlistener once it is built

PHP Code:

---

var listBuilt:Boolean;
if (listBuilt == false)
{
    stage.addEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, buildList);
}

function buildList (evt:Event):void
{
    // Add Item to List.
    my_cb.addItem ({data:1, label:"Home"});
    my_cb.addItem ({data:2, label:"First Link"});
    my_cb.addItem ({data:3, label:"Second Link"});
    listBuilt = true;
    stage.removeEventListener (Event.ENTER_FRAME, buildList);
}

Thank you for the assistance, it works like a charm. :yarr: I knew there was something simple I was missing. Now I can expand upon this.

I am a graphic designer and can muck my way through some code, but I'm not very proficient yet. I mainly rely on books and forums. (Flashkit is my personal favorite.)

Just for clarity and for the sake of others, here is the final working code:

Code:

---

stop();

import fl.data.DataProvider;
import fl.events.ComponentEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

var listBuilt:Boolean;

if (listBuilt == false)
{
        stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, buildList);
}

function buildList (evt:Event): void
{
                // Add Item to List.
                my_cb.addItem({data:1, label:"Home"});
                my_cb.addItem({data:2, label:"First Link"});
                my_cb.addItem({data:3, label:"Second Link"});
                listBuilt = true;
                stage.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, buildList);
}

// Add Listener.
my_cb.addEventListener (Event.CHANGE, getData);

function getData(evt:Event): void {
        gotoAndPlay(evt.currentTarget.selectedItem.data);
}
